Ruvubu National Park Tour

Why A Tour to Ruvubu Narional Park

\The Ruvubu National Park is a wildlife wonderland in the northeast of Burundi where visitors will be astonished by a vast array of fauna and flora. It occupies over 500 square kilometres making it the country’s largest national park.

The park touches neighbouring Tanzania in the south with the valley of the Ruvubu River featuring prominently in its landscape. The altitude reaches a height of 1,836 metres above sea level while ample rainfall saturates the earth. The Ruvubu River cuts a line through the entire length of the park and is responsible for the papyrus swamps and floodplains. The last remaining natural grasslands in the country are also found within the park’s borders.

As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the distinct habitats in the park offer refuge to a variety of animal and bird species. Various plant species, including proteas and towering trees, dot the landscape.

The Ruvubu National Park can be reached via road and air. The park lies just over 200 kilometres from Bujumbura where there is a well-established airport. Inside the park, visitors can access more than 50 kilometres of tracks.
