Mishiha

Mishiha is a commune in the eastern part of Cankuzo Province, Burundi, lying along the border with Tanzania. The area is characterized by dry savanna woodlands, rolling hills, and the Ruvubu River valley. Agriculture, particularly maize and cassava, forms the economic base.

Mishiha is remote and receives very few visitors. The area near the Tanzanian border is sparsely populated and offers a sense of isolation and natural wilderness.
