Nikoma

The Nkoma massif rises in the southeastern highlands of Burundi, a country of ridges, forest and falling water. At Karera, streams descend through a series of cascades beneath tall trees; nearby, the great Nyakazu fault cuts a ridge between two plateaus. The Karera and Nyakayi falls take their names from the streams that feed them, and the waters of the surrounding hills belong to the Great Lakes watershed.

The later city of Rumonge lies here.
