Burundi

Burundi occupies the highlands where the Great Rift Valley meets Central Africa, a landscape of steep green hills, banana groves, and the northern shore of Lake Tanganyika glittering below. It is one of the continent's smaller and more densely settled nations, where drumming traditions run deep and agricultural rhythms still govern daily life.

About Burundi

Overview

Landlocked in the heart of Africa, Burundi borders Rwanda to the north, Tanzania to the east and south, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west. Lake Tanganyika forms its southwestern edge. The capital, Gitega, sits centrally in the highlands; Bujumbura, the largest city, remains the economic hub on the lakeshore. Kirundi and French are official languages, alongside English. The franc is the national currency.
