Gasabo

Gasabo is the largest of the three districts that make up Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. It covers the northern and eastern parts of the city and is known for its upscale residential areas such as Nyarutarama and Kibagabaga, where many diplomats and expatriates live. The district is also home to important government buildings, including the Parliament building and several ministries. The Kigali Convention Centre, an architectural landmark, and the country's largest stadium, the Amahoro Stadium, are also located in Gasabo. In addition to urban areas, the district also includes rural zones and Lake Nyarutarama, which is a popular recreational area. Gasabo is a symbol of modern, emerging Rwanda, combining economic growth with planned urban development.
