Cheap flights to Burundi

Burundi is sandwiched between the African giants of Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania. The scenery is stunning and the welcome warm, and it may once again begin to receive a trickle of travellers as the word gets out that the war is over.Bujumbur,the name is so exotic it just rumbas off the tongue. ‘Buj’, as many foreign residents refer to it, has a striking location on the shores of Lake Tanganyika and many of its suburbs sprawl up the looming mountains that ring the city to the north and east.Comatose during the long civil war, the Burundian capital is a mixture of grandiose colonial town planning, with wide boulevards and imposing public buildings, and the dusty, crowded streets that characterise the capitals in much of Africa. It is also one of the most important ports on Lake Tanganyika.
