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.

It was an indescribably fascinating, intense and impressive trip. Our driver Anell and our guide Remi were very responsible and friendly towards us. Remi brought us very close to the culture and people we met through his knowledge. Anell, our driver, drove us the approx. 2000 km through Benin with great foresight and very safely through the country. We are a couple in our early 60's. The hotels were fine for us. We knew that we could not apply European standards. Everyone who goes on a trip like this should know this. The breakfast consisted of baguette, omelette, coffee, tea (partly instant coffee), butter, jam - all sufficient for a breakfast. Remi gave us the opportunity to get to know and enjoy real African cuisine. We were there to get to know the people, their way of life, culture and religions - especially the Vodun/Voodoo. We got so close to the people on this trip. We didn't feel like the "whites", but that we belonged in a spiritual way. We can only recommend this trip to others. Many thanks to Remi and Anell!
