Starting at the de facto tripoint, the border proceeds southwards for a short distance, before turning to the south-east. The border then follows a series a very irregular lines overland in southeastwards direction, down to the tripoint with the DRC. The boundary roughly follows the division between the Nile and Congo drainage divide.
