Because of their prior nomadic pastoralist nature, they are commonly found among the Banyarwanda Bakiga, Barundi Banyankore, Banyambo, Bahaya, Batagwenda, Banyaruguru,Banyamulenge and to some extent among the Bakooki and Basongora tribes to this present day.
The Bazigaba eventually settled in the region of Rweya, where they founded the Kingdom of Mubari, located just southwest of Karagwe,[2] with their royal drum called Sera.
They established the Mubari state of the Bazigaba, which covered an extensive area—from present-day Rwanda to the southwest of Karagwe in Tanzania.
