Donga River, River system in Taraba State, Nigeria and Northeast Region, Cameroon

The Donga River flows westward through dense vegetation, forming a natural border between Nigeria and Cameroon before merging with the Benue River system.

The Donga River watershed developed three significant forest reserves in Taraba State: Baissa, Amboi, and Bissaula River, located near Gashaka Gumti National Park.

Local communities along the Donga River maintain traditional fishing practices and agricultural activities that have sustained their populations for generations.

The river experiences peak water flow near its confluence with the Benue River, delivering up to 1,800 cubic metres of water per second.

The Donga River basin features specific temperature patterns, with August recording 40.35 percent rainfall and March reaching temperatures of 40.44 degrees Celsius.
