Boasting some of the best beaches on the entire continent, Burundi sits within East Africa bordered by Rwanda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country also includes a stunning array of wildlife within its many nature reserves and national parks. Bujumbura (or Buju as it’s commonly known) is the capital and will provide you with the best base for exploring the sights Burundi has to offer. In town you’ll find a natural history museum with a traditional village onsite, and the Rusizi National Park – home to hippos, crocodiles and exotic birds. Lake Tanganyika, one of the largest lakes in the world, offers a number of activities along its shores, including snorkelling, scuba diving and kayaking. For the best beaches, check out Bora Bora, Karera, Saga Plage And Geny’s. Burundi is also known for its welcoming locals and entertaining displays of music and culture. Be sure to try and catch a traditional drumming performance, with various shows taking place in each city. Hotels and guest houses are available in the northern beach resorts and around the lake, city centre and in the surrounding hills.

Guest review
A really enjoyable stay. It’s only a small place, but that made it very homely. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was excellent. I had a great fish dish for dinner. The host , Val, is most welcoming and I had a great evening siting at the bar, although I wish my French was better. It’s located reasonably centrally, about 15min walk to the centre.

Excellent service, very pleasant place. Delicious breakfast. I can confirm the laundry service. Truly a great spot, just like all of Kigali, which makes an amazing impression. It really makes you want to return.

Guest review
The hotel is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Exceptional facilities with well maintained gardens and pool area. Breakfast was really good too. There's plenty of bars and restaurants within walking diatance and a little supermarket just across the road. Note at the time of writing the lake had flooded so beach areas and most of the beach bars are closed but there is one still standing where you can enjoy the sunset. A special shout out to DESIRE on reception who went out of his way to help me, even after I had checked out of the hotel!
