Sibiti River
The Sibiti River is a seventy-five-kilometre waterway which connects Lake Eyasi and Lake Kitangiri, and one of the few non-man-made canals in the world.
Both Lakes Eyasi and Kitangiri are located south from The Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.
The Sibiti River has one tributary, The Semu River. The Sibiti River belongs to a rather dense Basin which includes Lake Eyasi, and several rivers entering Lake Kitangiri, including:
- Cheli River
- Mpiringa River
- Mwaru River
- Mhawala River
- Nyahua River
- Chona River
- Kapatu River
