Article History

Karuzi, town, central Burundi. The town, located on the Ndurumu River (a tributary to the Ruvubu), is a market centre with a government dispensary and a place of worship for Roman Catholics. A road connects it with the towns of Muyinga to the northeast and Gitega to the southwest.

The town lies on Burundi’s central plateau, which has elevations ranging from 4,100 to 6,600 feet (1,250 to 2,000 metres). The surrounding region is drained south and north by the Ruvubu River and its tributaries. Most of this area is devoted to raising cattle, goats, and sheep and growing bananas, cassava (manioc), beans, corn (maize), sorghum, and coffee. Pop. (2008) 10,317.
