Burundi weather overview

The central African country of Burundi, bordered by Congo-Kinshasa, Tanzania and Rwanda, is no bigger than Israel but features some dramatic mountain scenery. Burundi's high altitude tempers its equatorial climate, reducing temperatures and limiting mugginess to create pleasant conditions. Best time to visit is between June and September, when rainfall and humidity are lowest; expect rain during the rest of the year.

What to pack for Burundi weather

Take light clothing for the daytime and wraps for cooler evenings. Pack rainwear if travelling between October and May.
