Land at Melchior Ndadaye International Airport and step straight into real Burundi: Lake Tanganyika sunsets, Rusizi National Park boat tours, royal drums at Gishora, Karera Waterfalls and peaceful highland villages – all with trusted local guides.
If you’re staying in Bujumbura for a few days or just have one free day before or after your flight, these experiences are easy to reach from the airport or your hotel. Our team at M Travel and Tours Burundi can include hotel and airport transfers in every tour.
Explore the heart of Bujumbura with a local guide. Visit key monuments, panoramic viewpoints, local markets and everyday neighborhoods where people live, work and relax.
After your flight or meetings, unwind on the shores of one of the world’s deepest lakes. Enjoy a peaceful sunset, fresh air and the gentle sound of the waves along Lake Tanganyika.
Just outside Bujumbura, Rusizi National Park offers calm river channels where hippos, crocodiles and many bird species live. A great first taste of East African wildlife.
With one full day available, you can leave the city and discover hills, forests, waterfalls and historic sites. These day trips are ideal for NGO staff, business travelers and holiday guests who want to see more of Burundi without changing hotels.
Visit the most famous royal drum site in Burundi, located near Gitega. Watch a live drum performance, hear stories of the old kingdom and enjoy panoramic views from the hill.
Spend a full day in the green hills of Burundi. Walk to the cascades of Karera Waterfalls, enjoy the fresh air, then visit one of the sources of the Nile River marked by a monument.
Travel into the misty highlands of Kibira National Park, where rainforest, birds and tea fields create peaceful scenery. A good option for travelers who love nature walks.
If you have 2–4 days or more, we can design a complete itinerary that starts with your airport pickup and ends with your departure – including hotels, local guides and all ground transport.
Combine key highlights for a short but powerful introduction to Burundi: Bujumbura city, Lake Tanganyika, Gishora Drums and the Karera area.
Spend more time in villages, talk with local people, visit cultural communities and enjoy quiet evenings in the hills – with full support from our team.
Many travelers arrive in Bujumbura for work, NGO missions or conferences and want to see at least a little bit of Burundi while they are here. With BurundiAirport.com and M Travel and Tours Burundi, your airport transfer can easily become part of a real experience.
When you send your airport transfer request, simply add a note about your free days or free afternoons. Our team will suggest realistic options based on your arrival and departure times.
For short stays, we recommend Bujumbura city, Lake Tanganyika sunset and Rusizi National Park. If you have one full day, Gishora Drums or Karera Waterfalls are excellent choices. With more time, we can build a 2–4 day itinerary for you.
The same trusted team that manages your airport pickup also organizes your tours, vehicles and drivers. You don’t have to coordinate with many different people – you communicate with one local operator who knows where you are and what you need.
Whether you are here for three hours, three days or longer, we are ready to make your time in Burundi safe, smooth and meaningful.
