Boyoma Falls consists of seven major cataracts on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The cataracts stretch across a long series of rapids between Kisangani and Ubundu.
The falls were formerly known as Stanley Falls, a colonial-era name associated with the explorer Henry Morton Stanley. The modern name Boyoma Falls is now standard in geographic references and reflects the local setting.
Boyoma is not a single vertical plunge like Angel Falls or a broad curtain like Victoria Falls. It is a chain of rapids and cataracts distributed along the river, making its total form different from the isolated waterfall image many quizzes imply.
