The Budu people (Babudu) are a Bantu people living in the Wamba Territory in the Orientale Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They speak the Budu language.
The Budu people live on both sides of the Nepoko River, speaking different dialects. However, the people of the Ibambi side of the river and those of the Wamba side consider themselves one people.[2] The Budu territory is within tropical rain forest. It is isolated, with roads inaccessible to vehicles other than bicycles.[1]
