Tea Hills & Viewpoints • Central Burundi

Teza Tea Plantations

Drive through rolling green hills, pause at wide viewpoints and breathe in the fresh mountain air above Burundi’s iconic tea fields.

Ideal as a half-day or full-day scenic tour from Bujumbura or Gitega, often combined with Kibira National Park.

Green Carpets Over the Hills

Teza Tea Plantations are among Burundi’s most photogenic landscapes – endless rows of bright green tea bushes covering the hills, with winding roads and cool mountain weather.

As you drive through Teza, the scenery opens up in every direction. It’s a perfect place for photos, short walks, and quiet moments looking over the valleys below.

When you visit with M Travel and Tours Burundi , we plan the best stopping points and timing so you can enjoy the views, light and atmosphere at a relaxed pace.

Why Travelers Love Teza

  • Beautiful green hills and photo-friendly viewpoints.
  • Cooler temperatures compared to the lowlands.
  • Peaceful rural landscape and village life along the road.
  • Easy to combine with Kibira National Park or Gishora Drum Sanctuary.

What to Expect During Your Visit

A Teza tour usually starts with a drive out of Bujumbura or Gitega, climbing gently into higher altitude. As you reach the tea area, the landscape turns bright green and the air becomes cooler and fresher.

Your guide will stop at selected viewpoints, where you can step out, take photos and enjoy the quietness of the hills. Depending on timing and access, you may also have the chance to walk a little along the edges of the plantations.

Many travellers like to combine Teza with a visit to nearby forests or cultural sites, creating a full day of nature and culture.
