Anna’s 4-Day Journey to Burundi
Anna had always dreamed of visiting Africa, but Burundi wasn’t a country she ever imagined she would explore. One night, while scrolling online, she found M Travel and Tours Burundi. She sent a message:
“Hello, I want to visit Burundi. But… is Burundi safe?”
The team replied immediately:
“Yes, Anna. Burundi is very safe. We live here, we work here, and we guide travelers every day.”
But Anna had seen other websites saying some places were “not accessible” or “dangerous.”
The M Travel team reassured her gently:
“Don’t focus on what outsiders say. Listen to the people who are here. Burundi is peaceful and welcoming.”
That was the moment Anna felt confident enough to book a 4-day tour.
🌸 Arrival in Burundi — Happiness from the First Moment
The day she landed at Bujumbura International Airport, Anna was nervous but excited.
When she walked out, she found the M Travel team waiting for her… holding fresh flowers.
Her eyes widened.
“For me?”
The team smiled.
“Welcome to Burundi, Anna.”
She felt instantly at home.
🤝 Meeting Locals — “Burundians Are So Kind!”
During her stay, Anna met so many Burundians:
- Women selling fruits by the roadside
- Kids waving at her in villages
- Drummers smiling and inviting her to dance
- The Batwa community welcoming her with songs
She kept repeating:
“Burundians are the kindest people I have ever met.”
🥁 Gishora Royal Drums — The Moment Her Heart Opened
When Anna reached Gishora Drum Sanctuary, she thought it would be “just a performance,” but when the drums started, she felt the ground shake beneath her feet.
The rhythm, the energy, the culture — it was overwhelming.
She cried softly and said:
“This is the most beautiful cultural experience of my life.”
🌿 Kibira National Park — The Place She Was Told She Couldn’t Visit
Before coming, Anna read online that Kibira National Park was “unsafe” and travelers shouldn’t go.
But M Travel took her there.
Tall trees, fresh mountain air, birds singing — it was peaceful, untouched, magical.
Anna laughed and said:
“Why do people lie on the internet? This is paradise!”
🤎 The Batwa Community — A Life-Changing Encounter
When she visited the Batwa tribe, children ran to greet her from far away.
They danced, they smiled, they held her hands.
Anna cried again.
“This is real Africa… It’s pure. It’s beautiful.”
She met elders, listened to stories, took photos, and felt deeply connected.
💔 The Last Day — She Didn’t Want to Leave
When the 4 days ended, Anna sat quietly in the car on the way to the airport.
“I don’t want this trip to end,” she whispered.
She hugged the M Travel team and said:
“Burundi changed something in me. I’m coming back.”
