It borders [Murundi](/source/Murundi) to the north, [Ndego](/source/Ndego) to the southeast, [Kabare](/source/Kabare) to the south, [Rwinkwavu](/source/Rwinkwavu) and [Nyamirama](/source/Nyamirama) to the south-east, [Mukarange](/source/Mukarange) to the west and Gahini to the northwest. In the east, the sector borders the [Kagera Nile](/source/Kagera_River), which roughly forms the border with [Tanzania](/source/Tanzania). The eastern half of Mwiri is part of the [Akagera National Park](/source/Akagera_National_Park). [Ihema Lake](/source/Lake_Ihema) is located in this area. Other smaller lakes in the sector include, from north to south, [Murambya](/source/Lake_Murambya), Murambi, [Birengero](/source/Lake_Birengero) and [Shakani Lakes](/source/Lake_Shakani).<ref name="citypopulation">{{cite web|access-date=2024-10-05 |language=de |title=Ruanda: Gliederung in Sektoren |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/de/rwanda/sector/admin/ |website=citypopulation.de}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator -->
