Unforgettable experience
While Burundi is off the beaten path for most tourists, it holds undeniable potential. I recently completed a three-day tour with this company. Here are the highlights and drawbacks of my trip:
Pros:
#Exceptional Guide: David, the owner and a proud local, was an incredible guide—passionate, knowledgeable, and energetic. Traveling with a local owner makes navigating the country seamless, and he offers fantastic insider travel tips.
#Must-See Attractions: The traditional drum sanctuary is a magnificent, powerful experience. The chimpanzee trekking was another highlight; I was fortunate to spot chimps within just 10 minutes! With zero crowd and significantly lower permit fees compared to neighboring countries, it was an incredible value.
Cons:
#Hotel Miscommunications: On the day of my trek, the hotel forgot to prepare my requested packed breakfast. Furthermore, despite my itinerary including dinner, hotel staff occasionally mistakenly asked for payment.
#Infrastructure Challenges: Severe fuel shortages cause intermittent power outages lasting up to 12 hours. Refueling also occasionally delayed our daily schedule.
#Rough Road Conditions: Given the mountainous terrain and poor road maintenance, travel times between spots can be longer than expected.
Final Thoughts:
Despite these minor hiccups, Burundi is a hidden African gem with incredibly friendly locals. My guide went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, even expressing sincere apology when small issues occurred. Highly recommended for adventurous travelers!

awesome david and burundi
Burundi is such an amazing misunderstood country. It's by far my favorite country in Africa. I really had a blast. I hope everybody has the opportunity to see Burundi, especially through Davi's eyes.
Well prepared tour
I did Burundi tour with East Africa Bridge Tour and I was very happy with provided service. Everything was organized well from start to end.

It was a pleasure to drive with a fabulous team from Kigali to Akagera. And what a knowledge from both. Ofcause it was a extra bonus to be a solo-traveller, but the did their job excellent. Thx from the Netherlands.

Friendly and knowledgeable
I took a private tour with David and his team around Burundi and Tanzania. I spent most of my time in Bujumbura where David took care of all the accommodation and transportation. Whatever I needed he was able to arrange. We took a tour around Burundi off the beaten paths, visiting Kigwena Forest, Nyanza, Agasumo ka Mwaro waterfall, Karera Waterfall, Gitega, and many local sights. Very immersive tour. In Tanzania we visited Gombe national, had a great chimpanzee hike and amazing boat ride in between.
