Djambala is a town and a commune,[1] administrative center of Djambala District and of Plateaux Department in the Republic of Congo. It lies north of Brazzaville and near the Léfini Faunal Reserve.
Djambala has a tropical monsoon climate (Am), bordering on a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw). It features a short dry season from June to August due to the influence of the Benguela Current reaching furthest north, and a lengthy wet season for the remaining nine months of the year. Although temperatures are somewhat reduced by the city’s moderately high altitude, conditions are very warm and humid throughout the year even in the dry season.
In April 2007, a deal was signed with a Korean consortium to build a railway mainly for timber traffic from the main port to Djambala.[2] [3]
Djambala is also served by Djambala Airport.
