The massif rises from the plain in a 100-200m [[escarpment]], and five major rivers (the ''Vakaga'', the ''Goro'', ''Gounda'', ''Koumbala'', and the ''Manovo'') flow through the park from the massif to the Bahr Aouk - Bahr Kameur floodplain in the north. The basins of the ''Goro'', ''Gounda'' and ''Koumbala'' all lie within the park, but their flow is intermittent near the end of the dry season, and they may only reach the Bahr Aouk and Bahr Kameur during the wettest months June and November.<ref>''Physical Features'' Manovo-Gounda St. Floris National Park [http://www.unep-wcmc.org/sites/wh/manovo.html United Nations Environment Programme/World Conservation Monitoring Centre].
