The Ruvubu River (also spelt Rurubu and Ruvuvu) is a river in central Africa. It is about 300km long. It rises in the north of Burundi, near the town of Kayanza and then does a southward arc through Burundi, being joined by the Ruvyironza River near Gitega. From there it runs northeast, through the Ruvubu National Park, up to the Tanzanian border. After a stretch along the border, the Ruvubu crosses properly into Tanzania, before before joining the Kagera River on the Tanzania-Rwanda border near Rusumo Falls.
