The Lendu Plateau is an area of high ground in the Ituri Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), on the northwest side of Lake Albert.
Location
The Lendu plateau is roughly a rectangle 80 km long and 50 wide, with the long axis in the SW-NE direction. Its approximate corners are 1°38′N 30°31′E / 1.64°N 30.52°E, 15 km south of Droro, 1°59′N 30°14′E / 1.98°N 30.24°E, 30 km west of Djugu, 2°28′N 30°49′E / 2.47°N 30.81°E, 30 km west of Nebbi, and 2°09′N 31°07′E / 2.15°N 31.12°E, 10 km south of Niarembe. The northeast edge of the plateau roughly coincides with the DRC-Uganda border.[1][2]
