Best Burundi Experience, totally well organised and safe - It can be a difficult decision to trust a far away tour guide to deliver an amazing journey in a mostly unexplored African country. You can, with Gabriel and Best Burundi Guides. He is a well organised, on time, gentleman who gave us three well travelled guys an extraordinary insight into the Burundi culture and landscape. Experience fabulous drummers, waterfalls, impressive farming landscapes, animal sanctuaries, tea plantations, and we met the locals and forest dwelling singing Burundians. Safe comfortable clean hotels, good local produce at mealtimes, and cheap local beers! Even the local mobile sim works well alongside hotel wifi. Burundi was stunningly beautiful with colourful hard working local people on every road. Have yourself the Best Burundi Guide experience.
