Mix of Cultural & Wildlife Tour in Burundi
Discover Burundi through a perfect blend of ancient culture, wild landscapes, and unforgettable encounters with local communities and wildlife. This mixed cultural–wildlife experience is designed for travelers who want to explore the true soul of Burundi — from royal traditions to iconic hippos, lush parks, and warm Burundian hospitality.
A Journey Into Burundi’s Cultural Heart
Burundi’s culture is one of the richest in East Africa, shaped by centuries of heritage, royal traditions, and community life.
• Gishora Royal Drums Experience
The tour begins with the legendary Gishora Drum Sanctuary, home of the traditional royal drums. Here, guests witness the powerful performance of the drummers — a ceremony that leaves every visitor deeply moved. The rhythm, the energy, the history… it is a moment you will never forget.
We also share stories of Burundi’s ancient kingdoms, how drums were used as symbols of power, and why they remain central in Burundian identity today.
• Meet Local Communities
After the drums, the journey continues to visit authentic local communities, such as the Batwa tribe, where travelers learn about traditional pottery, music, and the daily lifestyle of one of the oldest peoples of the Great Lakes region.
These encounters are not staged for tourists — they are genuine, respectful cultural exchanges that allow visitors to understand real Burundian life.
Into the Wild: Nature & Wildlife Encounters
Burundi’s landscapes are small but incredibly diverse, offering intimate wildlife experiences.
• Rusizi National Park Wildlife Viewing
The peaceful Rusizi River hosts some of Burundi’s most iconic wildlife. Travelers enjoy a guided wildlife experience where they can see:
- Hippos relaxing along the riverbanks
- Nile crocodiles sunbathing
- Colorful birds of the Rusizi delta
- Fishermen returning from morning fishing
M Travel and Tours Burundi also offers engine-powered boat trips that take guests to the best spots for hippo viewing — a highlight of any wildlife tour in Burundi.
• Scenic Drives & Hills
Burundi is known as “the country of a thousand hills.” Throughout the tour, visitors enjoy beautiful views, lush landscapes, and rolling green hills that define the country’s natural beauty.
