'''Cyangugu''' (formerly Shangugu) is a city and capital of the [[Rusizi (district)|Rusizi District]] in [[Western Province, Rwanda|Western Province]], [[Rwanda]]. The city lies at the southern end of [[Lake Kivu]], and is contiguous with [[Bukavu]], [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]], but separated from it by the [[Ruzizi River]]. Two bridges and a dam cross the river frontier.

The settlement has two main areas: Cyangugu itself is the low-density district on the lake shore, while '''Kamembe''', the higher density [[Industrial sector|industrial]] and [[transport]] centre is further inland and to the north. [[Kamembe Airport]] serves the city with flights 11 times a week to [[Kigali International Airport|Kigali]], operated by [[RwandAir]].

The city lies near [[Nyungwe Forest]], a popular tourist destination, being one of the last remaining forest areas of Rwanda and home to chimpanzees and many other species of primate.

In 2022 the city had a population of 43,866.
