The territory contains Mount Nyiragongo, an active volcano within Virunga National Park.

Nyiragongo Territory is a territory in North Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.[3] Covering an area of 333 square kilometers,[4][5] it had a population of 338,966 as of 2022.[6] The territory is bordered to the north by the Bwisha Chiefdom in Rutshuru Territory, to the south by Karisimbi commune in the city of Goma, to the east by Rwanda, and to the west by the Virunga National Park, which separates it from the Bahunde Chiefdom in Masisi Territory.[3]

Established by presidential ordinance on 20 August 1998, with administrative foundations dating back to District Commissioner's Order No. 58 of 22 June 1929,[3] Nyiragongo Territory is composed solely of Bukumu Chiefdom.[7] This chiefdom is further divided into seven groupements, which are subdivided into 58 villages.[8][9] The territory is historically governed by the Kumu people,[10] but its population is ethnically diverse, including the native Shi, Nande, Hunde and the Congolese Banyarwanda as well as other ethnic groups.[11]
