As a small country, Burundi has a few interesting attractions on Burundi holidays but worth the spending. Some of the best attractions are within Bujumbura the capital city, Gitega museums, Nyungwe forest National park bordering Rwanda, Kibira National Park, Rusizi forest reserve and the source of the Nile.
The problem may be because the country has only one international airport and this is called
