Karisimbi is a commune in Goma in the North Kivu Province of the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The commune takes its name from the nearby Mount Karisimbi, a prominent volcano in the Virunga Mountains.[1] Spanning an area of approximately 33,372 square kilometers, Karisimbi extends from Goma International Airport to the outskirts of the Mugunga neighborhood.[2] It is bordered by the Masisi Territory to the south and Rwanda to the east.[2]
Primarily a residential area, Karisimbi hosts limited commercial activity and a structured administrative division. The commune is organized into 11 neighborhoods—Murara, Ndosho, Virunga, Bujovu, Mugunga, Kasika, Mabanga Nord, Mabanga Sud, Majengo, Kahembe, and Katoyi—which are further subdivided into 39 cells and 209 avenues.[2]
