What to see in Burundi

In the natural protected area of the province of Rutana there are the most beautiful waterfalls in the country, which are characterized by their uniqueness. The highest of them reaches a height of 80 meters. Two streams of water join together and fall down the rocks with a powerful rumble, turning into a small, calm lake. In ancient times, local rulers considered these waterfalls sacred and treated them with special reverence, washing in their waters only before important ceremonies. Near the waterfalls there is also a cave with a font. If you walk along the flow of the water, you will see a stunning tropical nature with a rich variety of birds and trees.

The northern part of the republic is characterized by a favorable climate and fertile soil, ideal for growing high quality tea. This region is well known all over the world. Not only tea is grown here, but also the dried leaves are packaged in local factories. Burundian tea is so excellent that it is delivered directly from the plantations to the table of the Queen of England. Tours of the plantations are organized for tourists, where they are shown how to pick the leaves and offered to buy the finished product in its original packaging.

The northwest of the country is home to one of the largest natural parks with untouched forests, rushing mountain rivers and rare animals. It is currently home to around 200 species of birds and about 100 species of mammals. Long trails have been created for visitors, starting from tea plantations and passing through dark and mysterious forests where light is almost non-existent. This is a unique opportunity to experience pristine and untouched nature and to hear hundreds of birds singing.

It is a unique natural attraction in Burundi that will impress visitors with its beauty and uniqueness. A visit to this place will leave unforgettable impressions. Especially for lovers of active recreation, especially hiking, there are excursion routes and sites for water sports and fishing.
