BURUNDI

A wealth of sights are on offer, from the thermal waterfalls in the Mugara Reserve and the southern source of the Nile at Rutovu to Kibira National Park, where chimpanzees, colobus monkeys, and crested mangabeys dash through dense foliage. And even though coffee is the country’s largest export, it is the vast tea plantations of Teza and Rwegura that will capture the visitor’s imagination. Make sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccines before every trip. These vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, polio vaccine, and your yearly flu shot.
