Practical notes about Burundi — checked as part of this page for tourism travellers.
The Capital of the Gitega and the Drummers of the Palace
The capital of the Gitega, the political and historic heart of the country since the days of the royal court, sits on the green highlands of the centre of the republic, with the drum sanctuaries, the palace of the old kingdom and the national museum. The city is the home of the most famous drummers of the region, the ensemble of the royal drums of the Gishora whose sacred instruments, the enormous drums of the carved wood and the hides, are played in the spectacular ceremonial performances of the festivals. The museum of the city, the rich collection of the regalia, the musical instruments and the objects of the everyday life of the kingdom, preserves the culture of the court and of the people, and the views over the green hills of the capital set the tranquil scene of the high seat of the nation.
The Lake of the Tanganyika and the Beaches of the North Shore
The great lake of the Tanganyika, the vast and ancient water that forms the long western boundary of the country, is the deep heart of the geography of the region, one of the largest and the oldest lakes of the planet. The shores of the lake, from the city of the Bujumbura and its northern beaches to the fishing villages of the south, hold the warm heart of the national recreation, with the swimming, the sailing and the sunset cruises of the calm water. The fishing of the lake, the millions who make their lives from the catches of the dagaa and the perch, and the night boats with their lamps on the dark water, give the great lake its essential rhythm, and the evolutionary wonders of its deep waters give the scientists their treasure.
The Hills of the Countryside and the Coffee of the Highlands
The countryside of the country, the densely farmed hills of the interior that the population has carved into the interlocking terraces of the beans, the bananas and the coffee, is the deep agricultural heart of the national life and one of the most humanised landscapes of the whole of Africa. The coffee of the highlands, the arabica of the green hills of the Karyenda region and the many departures of the century of cultivation, is the great export crop of the country, and the hill stations and the cooperative visits of the washing and the drying of the berries give the visitor the living story of the bean. The markets of the hillsides, the walking treks that thread the terraces between the villages and the round houses of the countryside complete the picture of the working heart of the country of the thousand hills.
The Royal Court Culture and the Dances of the Land
The culture of the royal court of the old kingdom of the Burundi, the rich ceremonial life of the drummers, the praise-singers, the dancers and the guardians of the palace, is the proud living heritage of the nation, preserved through the turmoil of the modern century. The ceremonies of the country, the great festivals and the funerals with their traditions of the singing, the dancing and the oral poetry, still honour the royal past, and the sacred drums of the Gishora remain the most powerful symbols of the national identity. The dancers of the country, the graceful performers of the court tradition and the stick-wielders of the martial dance, take the stage at the celebrations and the cultural festivals of the nation.
