Burundi, known as the Heart of Africa, is divided into 18 provinces, each with its own story, culture, and natural beauty. From the lively capital of Bujumbura Mairie to the cultural heartbeat of Gitega, from the bird-rich lakes of Kirundo to the waterfalls of Bururi, every province offers something unique to discover.
Traveling through Burundi’s provinces is like walking through a living tapestry of landscapes and traditions. In Muramvya, you’ll find the historic royal grounds and lush tea plantations; in Rutana, the breathtaking Nyakazu Fault; in Rumonge, the palm-fringed beaches along Lake Tanganyika. Each province invites you to experience a different side of Burundi — vibrant markets, drumming sanctuaries, green hills, wildlife reserves, and welcoming communities.
Visiting all provinces is the best way to feel Burundi’s full spirit: the rhythm of the drums, the taste of fresh coffee, the call of migratory birds, and the smiles of its people. Whether you are an adventurer, a culture lover, or someone who simply wants to connect with authentic Africa, the provinces of Burundi open their doors to you.

Burundi is a tapestry of emerald hills, mirror-calm lakes, and living traditions. From Bujumbura’s sunset glow on Lake Tanganyika to the drumbeats of Gishora, from tea-lined ridges in Kayanza to the bird-filled waters of Kirundo, each province adds its own color to the picture.
Walk beneath the rainforest canopy of Bubanza and Cibitoke in Kibira, breathe the cool air of Muramvya’s highlands and Teza, and feel the spray at Bururi’s Karera Falls. In Rutana, the Nyakazu Fault opens wide to panoramic valleys; in Bujumbura Rural, Rusizi’s hippos laze along meandering channels.
Gitega’s royal drums carry stories across generations; Ngozi’s bustling markets hum with everyday life; Karuzi, Ruyigi, and Mwaro welcome you into tranquil villages where traditions are shared with open hands and warm smiles.
Along Rumonge’s palm-lined shores, the lake shimmers like glass; in Bujumbura Mairie, evenings glow golden on the waterfront. North in Kirundo, Lake Rwihinda gathers thousands of migratory birds; Makamba’s gentle hills and Muyinga’s plateaus round out a serene horizon.
Every journey through Burundi feels personal: a greeting in the market, a viewpoint after a winding road, the rhythm of drums echoing across green hills. Explore widely, and the country will meet you with grace.
