About

Burundi is a landlocked country located in East Africa, bordered by Rwanda, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with a shoreline along Lake Tanganyika. Its capital city is Gitega, though Bujumbura is the largest city and main port.

The nation's industrial base is underdeveloped, primarily centered on subsistence agriculture, coffee and tea export, and small-scale industries. Despite ongoing challenges, including political instability and limited infrastructure, Burundi has potential in agribusiness and natural resource management.

Kirundi and French are the official languages of Burundi, with English also gaining importance and Swahili spoken in commercial areas. This linguistic diversity highlights the country's varied cultural influences.

Burundi's economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, employing more than 90% of the population, with coffee and tea being the main export crops. The country's culture is rich in traditions and communal activities, with traditional music, dance, and drumming playing a significant role in cultural expressions.

Burundi is also known for its vibrant cultural heritage and historical landmarks, such as the Source of the Nile and the ancient royal palaces, contributing to its cultural tourism potential, despite the constraints posed by political and economic challenges.
