Nduga

Nduga was one of the old principalities of central Rwanda, south of the Nyabarongo River. Its rulers governed through alliances among chiefs, each holding a relatively small domain. During the seventeenth century this older principality disappeared amid shifting loyalties and the rise of new powers. The Nyiginya ruler Ruganzu Ndori went on to expand his authority over several neighbouring kingdoms, helping to shape the central lands from which the kingdom of Rwanda grew.

The later city of Kigali lies here.
