Rules in force · 6Broken pavements and heat
  • Burundi ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport with the Burundian immigration authorities or embassy before booking.
  • Burundi ↗Check your government's advice province by province: some areas, including border areas and parts of the west, carry advice against all or all but essential travel.
  • Burundi ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry.
  • Bujumbura and Lake Tanganyika ↗Advice differs by area: stay within the parts of Bujumbura and the lake road that your own government's advice allows.
  • Bujumbura ↗Broken pavements and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Bujumbura ↗Dusk falls near 18:00 all year. Be at your hotel by then and take a hotel-arranged car after dark; do not walk between clusters.
