Overview

There are very few international airlines serving Burundi due to the ongoing conflict. Kenya Airways flies to Nairobi. Air Burundi and Ethiopian Airlines take on the short hop to Kigali.

A minibus operated by Yahoo Express is probably the safest way to travel in and out of Burundi overland. The bus operates daily between Kayanza, Burundi and Butare, Rwanda.

The MV Mwongozo ferry sails along Lake Tanganyika between Bujumbura and Kigoma, Tanzania. A less reliable ship is the MV Liemba on Lake Tanganikya.
