Editorial snapshot
Flying to Burundi rewards patience and planning. Routes are almost always indirect, funnelling through Nairobi, Addis Ababa, or Kigali, so build in connection time and watch for schedule changes. Fares are most competitive between May and September. This is a destination for the genuinely curious traveller â someone who finds satisfaction in going where the crowds don't, and who reads a travel advisory the way other people read a menu.
