Why Visit the Gishora Drums Sanctuary?

Where the Heart of Burundi Beats

Experience it with M Travel and Tours Burundi

High on a sacred hill just outside Gitega lies a place where history echoes, and tradition lives on — the legendary Gishora Drums Sanctuary.

This is not just a destination.
It is the spiritual rhythm of Burundi.
It is where the drum does not simply sound — it speaks.

With M Travel and Tours Burundi, you don’t just visit Gishora — you connect with its soul. We take you beyond the tourist path and into the heart of Burundian heritage.

🌿 More Than Music — A Sacred Legacy

In Burundi, drums are sacred. They once announced the birth of kings, summoned communities, and brought peace to the land. At Gishora, the royal drums, known as Ingoma, are played not for entertainment — but for reverence.

Each performance is a ritual.
Each beat carries the heartbeat of a kingdom.

Founded during the reign of King Mwezi Gisabo, Gishora is lovingly preserved by the Abatimbo — royal drummers who protect and perform these traditions with deep pride. When you come with M Travel and Tours Burundi, you’ll meet these custodians, not as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest.
