Gonini River
Gonini River is a river of Suriname which flows into the Lawa River near Mofina in French Guiana.[2] The river is formed from a confluence between the Wilhelmina River and the Emma River. Both rivers are sourced from the Oranjegebergte which in turn is a subdivision of the Tumuk Humak Mountains.[3] The area was first explored by A. Franssen Herderschee in 1903.[4] The river is home to the Koloegado, Lenabari, Makoe-makoe, and Kotilolo waterfalls.[2]
