🏛️ What to Expect on Your Gitega Day Tour
✅ 1. National Museum of Gitega
Start your day at the Musée National de Gitega, the most important museum in Burundi. Discover rare artifacts from the royal kingdom era, traditional drums, ancient tools, and ceremonial costumes. This museum tells the story of Burundi before and after colonial times.
Our guide will explain the unique history behind each piece and how these traditions are still part of Burundian life today.
✅ 2. Gishora Royal Drum Sanctuary
Located just outside Gitega, Gishora is one of the most sacred sites in Burundi. Here, you’ll see the legendary Royal Drums of Burundi, watch a live drum performance (if available), and learn about their spiritual and cultural importance.
This is not a show — it’s a sacred tradition still respected by locals.
✅ 3. Lunch in a Traditional Burundian Restaurant
Enjoy a fresh, locally made Burundian meal in the heart of Gitega. Depending on your preference, you might try beef brochettes, rice & beans, green vegetables, and grilled plantains.
Vegetarian and vegan options are available — just let us know in advance.
