Overview

Burundi

An exceptionally rich nature, considerable generosity, an astonishing cultural heritage... Located in the region of the Great Lakes, on the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Rwanda, Burundi, one of the smallest countries on the continent, never ceases to amaze you. Hills and valleys covered by eucalyptus will fill your vision. Today, Burundi is calming down, following the signature of a cease-fire in September 2006 between the Hutus and the Tutsis.

pros

  •  The road network is satisfactory.
  •  The coolness of the climate at altitude.

cons

  •  The conflict between Tutsis and Hutus.
  •  The precarious sanitary conditions that encourage epidemics.

Country Guide

Our Editorial team's advice

Despite re-launching the peace process with mediation by Nelson Mandela, the conflict between the power and the army, dominated by Tutsis opposed to the Hutu uprisings, continues, and the protagonists refuse to participate in any discussions. The civil war has already caused almost 20,000 deaths. You are therefore formally advised against going to Burundi, even for professional reasons.
