Elysé was an excellent guide who helped me with all parts of logistics for my short stay in Burundi. He doesn't hesitate to share his knowledge about the Burundi culture. Of course the drumming show at the drum sanctuary was the highlight of the visit with their passion and power. Highly recommended !
Best Burundi Experience, totally well organised and safe

It can be a difficult decision to trust a far away tour guide to deliver an amazing journey in a mostly unexplored African country. You can, with Gabriel and Best Burundi Guides. He is a well organised, on time, gentleman who gave us three well travelled guys an extraordinary insight into the Burundi culture and landscape. Experience fabulous drummers, waterfalls, impressive farming landscapes, animal sanctuaries, tea plantations, and we met the locals and forest dwelling singing Burundians. Safe comfortable clean hotels, good local produce at mealtimes, and cheap local beers! Even the local mobile sim works well alongside hotel wifi. Burundi was stunningly beautiful with colourful hard working local people on every road. Have yourself the Best Burundi Guide experience.
