Burundi Tours & Holidays
Burundi holidays take you somewhere most travellers never reach. This small Central African nation rewards the curious with rhythm, warmth, and a welcome far from the usual safari circuit.
Wedged between Rwanda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi is one of the smallest countries on the continent and also one of the least visited. Its history has been shaped by events on its borders rather than within them, and that is partly why so much of what makes the place special, the lakeside markets, the choral churches, the drumming traditions passed down for centuries, has stayed entirely its own.
Travelling to Burundi feels like an antidote to the polished East African safari circuit. The wealth here is in the people, their resourcefulness and their energy, and you encounter that on a Bujumbura street corner as readily as on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
Explore our Burundi Tours
Our Burundi tours are designed as small group journeys with a maximum of twelve travellers, led by an experienced English-speaking tour leader throughout. This ensures a more personal, flexible and immersive travel experience. You begin in Bujumbura, the lakeside capital, before exploring wetlands, national parks and cultural landmarks across the country. Expect wildlife encounters in Rusizi National Park, a scenic cruise on Lake Tanganyika, and powerful cultural performances from Burundi’s world-famous drummers.
This is slow, meaningful travel—focused on people, culture and connection rather than mass tourism.

A wonderful opportunity to explore and experience a string of Caribbean islands. Although the pace of the trip was fast, we still managed to see behind the glitz and glamour of the holiday industry and get to grips with local history and culture.
