Known for its rolling hills, Lake Tanganyika’s shoreline, and warm hospitality, Burundi attracts travelers seeking nature, culture, and emerging business opportunities.

Major Airports & Gateways
Bujumbura (BJM): Bujumbura International Airport (also known as Melchior Ndadaye International Airport) — located in Bujumbura, it serves as the country’s primary gateway for international flights.
Other Airports: GID (Gitega) and KRE (Kirundo) have little or no direct international service from the U.S.; most travelers fly into Bujumbura (BJM) and connect onward domestically.
Best Time to Fly
The best time to fly to Burundi is during the dry seasons from June to August and December to February, when the weather is mild, less humid, and ideal for travel. These months offer smoother flight schedules, comfortable conditions for sightseeing, and easier access to natural attractions around Burundi. The rainy seasons (March–May and September–November) bring lush landscapes and fewer tourists, often resulting in better flight deals, though occasional delays may occur due to weather. For travelers seeking a balance between pleasant weather and affordable fares, the shoulder months are a smart choice. Alim Travels helps you choose the best time to fly to Burundi based on your travel plans, budget, and preferred climate.
