Reisinformatie: Burundi

Small, mountainous Burundi lies just south of the equator in the Great Lakes region of Africa.

More than 160 kilometres of golden, sandy shores on Lake Tanganyika rise to meet the lofty, primeval forests and thermal springs of Kibira National Park in the northwest. Since independence from Belgium in 1962, Burundi has been plagued by the ethnic conflict between Hutus and Tutsis. An internationally brokered cease-fire in 2003 offers hope for the future of one of the poorest nations in the world.
