Bururi Forest Nature Reserve, located near the city of Bururi in Burundi, offers a lush setting of mountainous rainforest that is ideal for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers. The reserve is best explored with a guided tour to gain insights into its rich biodiversity, including various bird species and primates. Although accessible from Bujumbura by a few hours drive, visitors should be prepared for some challenging road conditions, especially during the rainy season from November to April. A visit can typically be completed in a single day, with entry and tour costs being relatively affordable; however, booking in advance is recommended due to limited infrastructure and guides. Bring suitable hiking shoes and insect repellent to enhance your experience in this remarkable natural habitat.
