The Aruwimi River is a tributary of the Congo River, located to the north and east of the Congo.[1]{{rp|Vol.Two,214}}

The Aruwimi begins as the Ituri River, which arises near Lake Albert,[2] in the savannas north of the Kibale River watershed. It then runs generally south southwest until it is joined by the Shari River which flows by Bunia. The Ituri then turns west, through the Ituri Forest, becoming the Aruwimi where the Nepoko (or Nepoki) River joins it, at the town of Bomili. The river continues westward, joining the Congo at Basoko. The length of the Aruwimi–Ituri is about {{convert|1030|km|mi}}, with the Ituri being about {{convert|650|km|mi}} and the Aruwimi about {{convert|380|km|mi}}.[2] The Aruwimi is about {{convert|1.5|km|mi}} wide where it joins the Congo.

The watershed of the Ituri/Aruwimi is almost entirely dense forest, with just a handful of villages along its course, and crossed by roads in about four places. The Kango language (SIL code KZY) is spoken by several thousand villagers just south of Avakubi, and upper reaches of the Ituri are inhabited by the Mbuti (Pygmies).

The Aruwimi was explored by Henry Morton Stanley during his 1887 expedition to "rescue" Emin Pasha. The cataracts above Yambuya made it impossible to use the river for navigation, and the expedition had to go by land, with tremendous difficulty.
