Backpacking or traveling in Burundi?

  • Burundi, a small but beautiful country in the heart of Africa, has not yet been discovered by mass tourism, making it an authentic destination for adventurous backpackers. The country is known for its rolling hills, impressive lakes and vibrant culture. Although the infrastructure is not always developed, the warm hospitality of the locals and the unbeaten paths make it a unique travel experience.
  • Activity spotting: relax on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, one of the world's oldest lakes; spot chimpanzees in Kibira National Park; go on safari in Ruvubu National Park; admire Karera Falls; visit the historic point where Livingstone and Stanley, two famous explorers, met; climb Burundi's highest mountain, Mount Heha; explore lively Bujumbura; attend a Gishora Drum performance; explore the wetlands and hippos of Rusizi National Park; enjoy relaxation at Saga Beach. 
  • Animal spotting: hippos, chimpanzees, buffalo, antelopes, flamingos, ospreys, pelicans, crocodiles, snakes, etc.

  • There are some international schools in Bujumbura where children of expats can receive education in English or French.
  • Security: Burundi has experienced periods of political instability, and although it is relatively safe in the capital, travel to some parts of the country is not recommended. Expats should exercise caution and keep abreast of local news.
  • Language: it may be helpful to learn French or Kirundi to integrate more easily
  • Culture: Burundi's culture is diverse, with influences from the Germans and Belgians and, of course, especially a lot of local culture. You will find a lot of local art, music, and festivals. Some customs include greeting each other with a handshake (right hand!) and bowing as a sign of respect, being on time, and eating with your right hand. 
  • Climate: tropical with moderate temperatures. The temperature varies depending on where you live. Furthermore, the country has two seasons - two rainy seasons per year and two dry seasons. 
  • Health insurance: you can choose between public and private health care, with the former often not up to Western standards. It is important to make sure you have your own well-covered health insurance.

What to take with you to Burundi: brief

To pack and check:
  • Documents and money: a passport that is valid for at least 6 months upon arrival and a visa or eVisa (depending on the current options and rules). Bring several paper and digital copies of important documents and your vaccination record. The local currency is the Burundian franc (BIF). Debit card payments are only possible to a limited extent, especially outside the capital Bujumbura. Bring enough recently issued US dollars to exchange.
  • Clothing: airy and covering clothing, such as cotton or linen, is pleasant because of the tropical climate. Are you going on safari? Then bring clothes in neutral colors and avoid dark blue, black, brightly colored, or white clothing. Camouflage print is prohibited. The higher areas (such as in Kibira National Park) can cool down considerably in the evening, so a warm sweater or fleece is also useful. A light raincoat is useful during the rainy seasons (approximately February-May and September-November). Burundi is conservative, and covering clothing is important outside the larger resorts.
  • Shoes: comfortable shoes for cities and sturdy walking shoes when you visit nature reserves or mountainous regions. Sandals or slippers are always practical in the warm weather.
  • Care and hygiene: sunscreen, lip balm, hand gel, and wet wipes are useful in the warm climate.
  • Pack and protect: a rain cover for your backpack is useful during the rainy seasons, as are waterproof bags that protect electronics from tropical rain.
  • Insects and animals: a good mosquito repellent with DEET or picaridin is essential.
  • Lying down and sleeping: a sheet liner can be useful for simple accommodations, and an impregnated mosquito net is highly recommended if you do not sleep in larger hotels.
  • Medications and travel pharmacy: A comprehensive first aid kit including ORS, anti-diarrheal medications, plasters, blister plasters, painkillers, hand sanitizer, and personal medications. Consult a travel clinic about malaria prophylaxis (malaria pills).
  • Outdoor and useful: reusable water bottle (with filter), sunglasses, cap, or hat.
  • Technology and equipment: Burundi uses sockets of types C and E. A flashlight or headlamp and a power bank are important because of the power outages.
  • Safety and theft: take a money belt or well-hidden neck bag with you and always check the current travel advice. Keep valuables out of sight and avoid traveling outside major cities after dark.
To consider:
  • Quick-drying travel towel.
  • Gaiters for the jungle.
  • Binoculars for bird areas around Lake Tanganyika.
  • Water purification tablets or a water filter.
  • Learn a few words of French or Kirundi; little English is spoken outside tourist places.
  • Knowledge of local customs and the current safety situation helps you plan your trip and prevent surprises.

What is the quality of healthcare in Burundi?

  • Despite the government working on better care, there are many challenges in the healthcare system and the care is not up to international standards.
  • The health care system depends on a combination of public funding, international aid and the private sector.
  • There are many international aid organisations active that are essential for, among other things, pregnancy care, vaccinations and combating infectious diseases.
  • The main languages ​​are French and Burundi. So make sure you know at least a little of one of these languages ​​(and then French might be your easy option).
  • There are several pharmacies in Burundi, especially in urban areas. It is possible that the medicines have run out. If you are dependent on certain medicines, bring your own supply.
Back to top

How does the public healthcare system work in Burundi?

  • The Ministry of Public Health and the Fight Against AIDS (MPHLAA) is responsible for overseeing health care in Burundi.
  • Public health care suffers from long waiting times, staff shortages and insufficient funding. There are three levels of public health care: clinics, health centres and hospitals.
  • Hospitals offer the best and most specialised care, including emergency care.
  • Health centres focus on family care, maternity care, preventive care and treatment of all kinds of diseases.
  • Clinics focus mainly on preventive care and education.
Back to top

How does the private healthcare system work in Burundi?

  • The private health care sector plays an important role in Burundi and often offers better and faster care than the public sector.
  • The private sector also offers better specialist care.
  • Private care is a lot more expensive than public care, which makes it inaccessible to many locals.
  • There is little regulation of the private sector, which means that the quality can vary considerably between different institutions. So ask other reliable sources living in Burundi for advice on a good private health care institution.
Back to top

How is the family doctor or general practitioner arranged in Burundi?

  • There are some, but not many, GPs in Burundi. There are shortages of healthcare personnel, including GPs.
  • In the private sector, you can see a GP more quickly, and this is a lot more expensive.
  • Most GPs can be found in Bujumbura.
Back to top

How is the dental care and dentist arranged in Burundi?

  • You will not find much dental care in Burundi, because just like in the rest of the healthcare system, there are also shortages of dentists.
  • There are a number of quite expensive dental private clinics.
  • It may be smart to go abroad for dental care.
Back to top

How is pregnancy and maternity care arranged in Burundi?

  • There are limited facilities and staff for good maternity care in Burundi. Despite the fact that the government provides free care, and many NGOs help, the infant and maternal mortality rates are very high and many children are stillborn in Burundi. These are all indicators of the quality of care and the health situation in the country.
  • Therefore, many expectant mothers and fathers consider spending their pregnancy and delivery abroad.

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Burundi?

What should you pay attention to in terms of safety in Burundi?

  • Burundians are incredibly friendly and although it is relatively quiet politically, there is a fair amount of crime.
  • For example, petty crime occurs, mainly committed by children. Kidnappings of tourists are rare but do occur, and sometimes there are attacks and gun battles in Bujumbura.
  • It is not recommended to travel to the provinces of Bubanza and Cibitoke on the border with the DRC due to the high risk of military violence.
  • Also beware of wildlife and always make sure you go with a professional guide in the nature reserves.

What should you look out for in terms of diseases in Burundi?

  • There are many health risks in Burundi. Mpox, yellow fever, malaria, dengue, chikungunya and even the plague occur.
  • So protect yourself well against insects, including fleas.
  • If you develop symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, severe headache or rash, you should seek medical help immediately.
  • HIV/AIDS is common in the country. There are sometimes large outbreaks of cholera. Drink only well-bottled, boiled or filtered water.

What should you pay attention to when it comes to traffic in Burundi?

  • Driving in Burundi is an adventure. It is generally safe during the day, but there have been accidents with cars in the countryside outside Bujumbura.
  • Also, most drivers are not very experienced. If you don't have a driver's license yet, you can get one here fairly easily!
  • Don't expect traffic lights, road markings or smooth road surfaces.
  • During the rainy season, you better have a four-wheel drive!
  • In terms of public transport, the options are limited. There are eight airports (only one of which has a paved runway), a few public buses and a few private buses.

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.

What is insurance for studying abroad, and why should you take out specialized travel insurance for your education abroad?

Studying abroad with the right insurance

Back to top

What is insurance for studying abroad?

  • Insurance for studying abroad means that you take out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your studies, your education, and your related activities abroad.
  • Insurance for studying abroad is also referred to as study insurance. This study insurance is specifically for when you go abroad for a long period of time to take courses, study, or conduct research abroad.
Back to top

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a study abroad?

  • Study insurance is specifically designed for studying abroad, whereas regular travel insurance policies may offer coverage on paper but handle this situation differently in practice.
  • Study insurance offers coverage for longer stays than regular (vacation) travel insurance.
  • Study insurance is also suitable for many types of activities, ranging from various sports to hiking at high altitudes.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if you start working during your trip, whether planned or unplanned. If you have not taken out insurance before departure that allows you to work, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take out insurance abroad that provides coverage.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if your own country's health insurance no longer provides coverage.
  • Student insurance also covers your healthcare costs above the rates in your own country; with regular insurance, you have to pay the extra costs yourself.
  • Student insurance can also continue to provide coverage if (study) visa issuers impose additional requirements on how you insure yourself, for example if you are going to the US and applying for a J-1 visa.
  • Student insurance continues to provide coverage if you are staying abroad for a longer period of time and want to visit your own country in between.
Back to top

What is important to insure when you are going to study abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the country or countries where you are going to travel and work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you only insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work alongside your studies.

Back to top

Travel in Burundi

  • Burundi is a country located in Central Africa bordering Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. Following the 2015 presidential election, there is a lot of unrest in the country to this day. Despite the political unrest, Burundi is a beautiful, hilly and mountainous country with a tropical climate. The official language is Kirundi, but French will also get you pretty far!

terugblik serious request 2013 (Burundi)

Excuus, ik heb al een tijdje niks meer geblogd. Maar ik wil graag iets kwijt over
Serious Request. Dit initiatief maakt me ZO BLIJ. Alleen de beelden al van alle mensen die maar geld blijven storten, blijven geven en dit hen een goed gevoel geeft. Dit enthousiasme wordt doorgegeven aan mij en velen anderen. Ik vind het een gigantisch goed project en ik hoop dat 3fm hier nog heeeel lang mee doorgaat. Natuurlijk heb ik zelf ook het een en ander gestort voor 3fm. Het filmpje over Burundi vind ik heel indrukwekkend. Zeker nu ik een half jaar terug ben uit Malawi, dan weet ik hóe belangrijk een latrine is voor de bevolking daar. En een latrine is zo gebouwd en geregeld. Alleen men heeft de middelen niet. Daarom is het zo belangrijk dat men hier geld voor doneert. Daarom ben ik blij dat Nederland, dat gezien wordt als een gierig land, toch elke keer weer het record verbreekt. Daar ben ik trots op :)

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.
    Back to top

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
