It is located in the hilly area in the west of Burundi, near Lake Tanganyika, the second deepest lake in the world, with a typical tropical highland climate characterized by distinct dry and wet seasons.

The inhabitants are mostly Hutu and Tutsi, speak Kirundi and French, and retain a traditional drumming and dancing culture. The local infrastructure is relatively simple, and the population is moderately densely populated in the form of rural settlements.
