Ntare I Kivimira Savuyimba Semunganzashamba Rushatsi Cambarantama was the king of Burundi from 1675 to 1709. He was a legendary descendant of the Ntwero family, and the first king of Burundi. His mother's name was Inanjonaki.
Ntare established the Sentare, a tribunal of judges to handle property disputes between chiefs. 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.
