Despite its troubled past and the somewhat unstable current conditions in Burundi, the country actually offers many different attractions for visitors to enjoy. There is an abundance of natural beauty here including national parks and natural reserves with plant life and wildlife and a variety of culture to experience.
Bujumbura
The capital and largest city of Burundi is Bujumbura. This city is situated in the west of the country on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. There are several points of interest in and near the city including a mausoleum at the top of the hill overlooking the city for Prince Louis Rwagasore. Even if you’re not interested in the mausoleum of the founder of independence in Burundi the climb is good for the views.
For tourists the main attraction in Bujumbura is the museum, called The Musee Vivant. The appealing layout of this museum is an attraction in itself and it’s set within beautiful gardens. There’s also a Herpetologic Centre here where you can see snakes and reptiles plus a bird house showcasing local species of birds.
Gitega

When Should You Visit?:
The climate in Burundi is equatorial and hence the annual average temperature does not vary a great deal – averaging between 17C and 23C, though the main reason for this flux is actually the change in altitude across the country.
Avoid the wet seasons which run from February to May and September to November. Dry seasons are between June and August and December to January.
