Burundi is often overlooked as a tourist destination, but those who visit are often charmed by its natural beauty and rich culture. From the snow-capped mountains in the north to the vast Lake Tanganyika in the west, Burundi is a stunning country with much to offer visitors. Here are some of the highlights that make it well worth a visit:

The beautiful scenery and diverse wildlife of Nyungwe National Park make it a must-see destination for nature lovers. This park is home to chimpanzees, monkeys, and over 260 species of birds, making it an ideal place for bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Another highlight of Burundi is its many lakes. Lake Tanganyika is Africa's second-largest lake and offers stunning views and plenty of opportunities for fishing, boating, and swimming. Other notable lakes include Lake Kivu, a volcanic lake known for its dramatic scenery and therapeutic hot springs, and Lake Burera, home to a diverse array of wildlife including hippos and crocodiles.

Burundi is also well known for its coffee. The coffee plantations in the highlands around Bujumbura are some of the most picturesque in Africa, and offer visitors the chance to learn about the process of coffee production and sample some of the best coffee in the world.

So if you're looking for an African adventure with plenty of natural beauty to enjoy, Burundi is definitely worth considering.
