馃嚙馃嚠 East Africa's best kept secret

Burundi Tours & Lake Tanganyika

White sand beaches on the world's second deepest lake, hippo pods in the Rusizi delta thirty minutes from the city, chimpanzees in the Kibira rainforest and the royal drummers of Gishora. Almost nobody runs Burundi properly. We do, and we host it end to end.

Planning notes

What to know before you go.

Getting there

Bujumbura is a short hop from Nairobi, Kigali or Entebbe, which makes Burundi an ideal three to five day add-on or a genuinely different long weekend.

Visas

Burundi sits outside the East Africa Tourist Visa, so a separate visa is required. We prepare the paperwork and invitation letters for you.

Language

Kirundi and French are the working languages. Every guide we place with you speaks fluent English as well.

Best time

The lake and Rusizi work year-round. June to September and December to February are driest for Kibira forest walks.

East Africa 路 Combined

Add Burundi to a bigger journey.

One team, one contract, one point of contact. We hold the permits, the charters, the borders and the lodges across every country we operate in.
