Burundi

TravelInternational Getting There by Air The national airline is Air Burundi (8Y). However, this airline is not approved by the International Air Transport Association. Other airlines serving Burundi include Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways and KLM. Departure Tax US$20. Main Airports Bujumbura International (BJM) is 11km (7 miles) north of the city. To/from the airport: Taxis are available to and from the city. Facilities: Banks/bureaux de change, bars, duty free shops, post office, tourist information, light refreshments and car hire. Getting There by Water Cargo/passenger ferries ply Lake Tanganyika between Kigoma (Tanzania) and Mpulungu (Zambia) calling at various ports including Bujumbura, when political conditions permit. There are normally some ferries to Kalemi (Congo, Dem Rep) and to Kigoma (Tanzania). The MV Mwongozo ferry sails along Lake Tanganyika between Bujumbura and Kigoma. There are three classes. Ferries can often be delayed depending on the cargo being loaded or unloaded. Getting There by Road It is normally possible to drive into Burundi from Congo (Dem Rep), either from the north or south. Roads from Rwanda are reasonable, but from Tanzania, poor. Visitors are advised against using the Bujumbura to Butare (Rwanda) road unless travelling as part of a UN convoy, due to the likelihood of ambushes. However the viability of crossing these borders depends on prevailing political conditions, and border areas can be very dangerous. Burundi’s border with Congo (Democratic Republic) is liable to close at short notice.
