Ibi bizwiho kuzana imyuzure ikabije ndetse no mu bice byo hepfo yuruzi ubusanzwe bitagira imvura nyinshi. Iyi myuzure ishobora guhagarika inzira yo hepfo yuruzi, igafunga imihanda nikiraro mugihe nayo yangiza cyane ibihingwa.

 Ibinyabuzima ni Bimera 

Hanze  y'ubuhinzi bunini, imigezi yo hepfo   ishyigikira ishyamba rinini. Iri shyamba rifunganye rirashobora kuba ryinshi kandi ntirishobora kwambuka, kandi rikubiyemo ubwoko bwinshi bwibiti bya savanna. Ubwoko bwinshi bwinyoni buboneka muri kariya gace, ubwinshi muri bwo ni heron na egrets. Amatungo magufi y’inyamaswa n’ibikururukanda  Inyamaswa nini zo mu mazi nka Invubu, ningona za Nili zishobora kandi kuboneka mubice byegeranye n’isangano ry'umugezi munini wa Akagera. Izi nyamaswa zizwiho kugenda zerekeza hejuru cyane cyane mugihe cyumwuzure utera guhitana abaturage baho batabizi batamenyereye aya matungo kuba kure cyane.
