Burundi is not a common destination for Americans and frankly I was a bit nervous. This country deserves more than the three days we spent there. Wasting no time, Hippo, our guide picked us up whisked us off to Parc National de la Rusizi. He communicated well in English and was able to explain the historical background and future trajectory for Burundi. We covered much of the country including the Chautes de la Karena and the source of the Nile. I would highly recommend Burundi to any adventurer who is looking for a less touristy destination in Africa.Timomotimo

It was difficult finding a travel agency until I saw a recommendation in Lonely Planet Guide. The agent helped me arrange a visa, a tour and a good hotel at a reasonable price I could afford. I was very grateful. The guide was excellent and as conscientious as anyone could be. All together, I could not have traveled there on my own without their help.
