(Redirected from Cambarantama)

Ntare I Kivimira Savuyimba Semunganzashamba Rushatsi Cambarantama was the king of Burundi from 1680 to 1709. He was a legendary descendant of the Ntwero family, and the first king of Burundi.

Ntare established the Sentare, a tribunal of judges to handle property disputes between chiefs.[1] There are any legends describing the creation of the Burundian monarchy. No other source than those legends has confirmed his existence or documented his life.
