 The watershed between the major Congo and Nile drainage basins runs from north to south through Rwanda , with around 80 % of the country 's area draining into the Nile and 20 % into the Congo via the Rusizi River and Lake Tanganyika . The country 's longest river is the Nyabarongo , which rises in the south @-@ west , flows north , east , and southeast before merging with the Ruvubu to form the Kagera ; the Kagera then flows due north along the eastern border with Tanzania . The Nyabarongo @-@ Kagera eventually drains into Lake Victoria , and its source in Nyungwe Forest is a contender for the as @-@ yet undetermined overall source of the Nile . Rwanda has many lakes , the largest being Lake Kivu . This lake occupies the floor of the Albertine Rift along most of the length of Rwanda 's western border , and with a maximum depth of 480 metres ( 1 @,@ 575 ft ) , it is one of the twenty deepest lakes in the world . Other sizeable lakes include Burera , Ruhondo , Muhazi , Rweru , and Ihema , the last being the largest of a string of lakes in the eastern plains of Akagera National Park .

 The final round of negotiations started at the royal kraal on the morning of 30 October . The talks took place at an indaba between the izinDuna and Rudd 's party ; the king himself did not attend , but was nearby . The izinDuna pressed Rudd and his companions as to where exactly they planned to mine , to which they replied that they wanted rights covering " the whole country " . When the izinDuna demurred , Thompson insisted , " No , we must have Mashonaland , and right up to the Zambezi as well — in fact , the whole country " . According to Thompson 's account , this provoked confusion among the izinDuna , who did not seem to know where these places were . " The Zambezi must be there " , said one , incorrectly pointing south ( rather than north ) . The Matabele representatives then prolonged the talks through " procrastination and displays of geographical ignorance " , in the phrase of the historian Arthur Keppel @-@ Jones , until Rudd and Thompson announced that they were done talking and rose to leave . The izinDuna were somewhat alarmed by this and asked the visitors to please stay and continue , which they did . It was then agreed that inDuna Lotshe and Thompson would together report the day 's progress to the king .
