Yangambi is a city in the Isangi territory of Tshopo District, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Yangambi is on the north side of the Congo River and lies on the R408 road which connects it to Kisangani to the east. This road is unpaved, rarely used in the rainy season and difficult to use at all times of the year. The roads linking Yangambi to Weko and Isangi are also very poor.[3] The river provides an alternative route. The town is also served by the small Yangambi Airport. Mean annual rainfall is 1,835 millimetres (72.2 in). August is the wettest month and February the driest. The skies tend to be partly cloudy even during the drier seasons.
