Are there any problems with border crossings between Burundi and Rwanda? We want to see Burundi, but have a desire to visit the Nyanza region in Rwanda as well.

There are no significant issues with border crossings between Burundi and Rwanda for tourists. However, I do suggest checking for any specific visa requirements or travel advisories before your departure, as they can change. We can assist you with any required documentation for smooth travel.

Thank you for arranging personalized tour. Overall, all the family members had good experience and fun especially the helpful tour guides and excellent accommodations but some of the arrangements didn’t reach our expectations like having to pay the meals and missing tour even though they should have been included and meeting time. Other than those, we had wonderful time! Thank you
