Lake Boya is a small lake about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of Kabongo in Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The lake is surrounded by high reeds, and has a thriving population of birds.[1]
In the pre-colonial period the region around Lake Boya was a center of inter-regional trade, an important source of wealth for the Kingdom of Luba.[2] The king and conqueror Kongolo established his capital near Lake Boya at Mwimbele at the start of the sixteenth century.[3]
