Territory, to the east by Rwanda and the city of Bukavu, and to the west by Shabunda Territory.
Established on 12 January 1923, Kabare Territory originally encompassed the principal chiefdoms of the Shi people, including Kabare, Kalonge, Nindja, Burhinyi, Kaziba, Luhwindja, and Ngweshe, as well as smaller Pygmy-speaking ethnic groups in the north. However, administrative restructuring led to the division of the original Kabare Territory, formalized by Edict No. 4 of 10 October 1961 passed by the Provincial Assembly of Kivu and later confirmed by Ordinance No. 67-221 of 3 May 1967 under the Republic of Zaire. Kabare Territory is composed of 17 groupements distributed across Kabare and Nindja chiefdoms. The territorial headquarters is located at Nyacibimba, within the Cirunga groupement of Kabare Chiefdom, about four kilometers northwest of Bukavu.
The Shi people constitute the majority of the population. A significant portion of the Kahuzi-Biéga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its biodiversity and mountain gorillas, lies in the territory.
