Nyagatare (district)

Nyagatare is a district ("akarere") in East Province, Rwanda. Its capital is Nyagatare city, the former capital of the now defunct Umutara province.

Geography

Nyagatare lies in an area of grassy plains, and low hills, with excellent views in all directions, including the mountains of southern Uganda and, on a very clear day, the Virunga volcano range. The land is not farmed as extensively as other areas of the country, and there is a large amount of cattle.

The area has a higher average daytime temperature than the Rwandan average, and lower precipitation, which come sometimes lead to droughts.
