It is one of the main rivers draining the western Rwandan mountains into Lake Kivu, the other being the Sebeya River.[1] During the colonial era the river defined the boundary between the Kibuye and Gisenyi Prefectures.[2] The settlements of Gasiza and Murunda are close to the Koko's convergence with the Rwishwa River.[3]
