Source of the Nile at Rutovu
Located on Mount Gikizi in Bururi Province, the Rutovu Nile source was identified in 1937 by German explorer Dr. Burkhart Waldecker as the southernmost headstream of the Nile River system. Marked by a historic stone pyramid, the windy mountain peak is surrounded by local stories of mountain spirits, geographic discovery, and ghostly sightings.
