The issue is probably that you haven't configured your URLs to handle the routes that are defined in React Router. In your Django urls.py you should be using a catch all to match all URLs to your index template

urlpatterns += [
    # match the root
    url(r'^$', base_view),
    # match all other pages
    url(r'^(?:.*)/?$', base_view),
]

The base_view would be a view function that renders a template which includes your bundled app.
