Central Market
This covered market is the largest in Burundi and is an interesting place to poke around in, with its maze-like corridors and closet-sized stalls. The market is organised into sections, from the colourful fresh produce stores to shops selling nothing but secondhand clothing donated

Parc National de la Ruvubu
In the east of the country, Parc National de la Ruvubu, is the largest, and least visited, national park in Burundi, although the recent creation of some camping areas in the park might lead to higher visitor numbers. It certainly has potential as a great park with its grasslands a

Musée National de Gitega
The Musée National de Gitega, although unlikely to enthrall you, is the best museum Burundi has to offer. The one-room hall has a dusty collection of traditional household items including cow-horn snuffboxes, bark clothing, medicinal instruments and jewellery. There are also some i

Parc National de la Kibira
The largest rainforest in Burundi is contiguous with Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda, and is believed to still be home to hundreds of colobus monkeys. There are also a number of chimpanzees present (although theyre very hard to see). Accsess to the park is via the northern town of

Source du Nil
Vying with another small spring in Nyungwe Forest National Park in Rwanda for title of the source of the Nile (the truth of the matter is that theres no one source), this insignificant-looking little spring at Kasumo, 115km southeast of Bujumbura, might be the southernmost source d

La Pierre de Livingstone et Stanley
This large rock allegedly marks the spot where the infamous Dr Livingstone, I presume? encounter between Livingstone and Stanley took place on 25 November 1871 (Ujiji in Tanzania has a much better claim to being the location of this event, though). Wherever it was, this is as good

Parc National de la Rusizi
This is the most accessible, and popular, national park, as Bujumbura is just 15km away. Its a wetland environment, and provides a habitat for hippos, sitatungas (aquatic antelopes) and a wide variety of birds. Tour companies and some top-end hotels in Bujumbura can organise half o

Musée Vivant
This small zoo wont win the approval of animal rights activists. In fact, it probably wont win approval from many people at all. Currently it houses a chimp, a leopard, several crocodiles, various snakes and some antelopes in cramped, dirty and exposed cages. The guinea pigs for sa

Chutes de la Karera
The Chutes de la Karera is the collective name for the four beautiful waterfalls near Rutana. The prettiest is the cascade Nyakai I where you park your car. Upstream from this is the smallest of the four falls, Nyakai II , an ideal spot for an impromptu shower. This watercourse is

Institut Français Burundi
As is pretty much standard with French cultural institutes the world over, this one hosts a diverse and exciting array of cultural events which take in everything from art-house films to exhibitions and food related events (its French, after all). The website lists upcoming events,

Saga Beach
Bujumbura’s Lake Tanganyika beaches are some of the best urban beaches of any landlocked country in Africa. The sand, though not exactly pristine white and clean, is still an inviting place to drop a towel, the swimming is safe and the water warm. The stretch of beach that lies abo
