Burundi
Capital · Gitega
Burundi is a small landlocked country in the heart of East Africa, with Gitega serving as its political capital while Bujumbura remains the bustling commercial hub on the shore of Lake Tanganyika. The economy centres on agriculture, particularly coffee and tea, which are prized on export markets and worth seeking out as quality souvenirs. Visitors enjoy exploring the scenic highlands around Kibira National Park, taking in lake views, and sampling fresh fish at Bujumbura's waterfront. Local markets such as the Bujumbura Central Market offer woven baskets, wooden crafts, and handmade pottery that reflect the country's strong artisan traditions.
