Rusaka is the capital of Burundi, a landlocked country in eastern Africa, located in the west-central part of the country on a plateau about 1,500 meters above sea level. As the political, economic and cultural center of Burundi, Rusaka is the largest city in the country, and also the concentration of central government agencies and foreign embassies.
Rusaka is famous for its mild climate and lush green cityscape, with markets, government buildings and religious places distributed in the city. The economy is dominated by services and light industry, and the coffee trade has had a significant impact on the city's development.
