Major Airports & Gateways
Kinshasa (FIH): Located in Kinshasa, N’djili International Airport is DR Congo’s primary international gateway, handling the majority of flights from the U.S. and Europe. Most travelers enter the country through FIH before connecting to domestic destinations.
Lubumbashi (FBM): Situated in the southeastern part of DR Congo, Lubumbashi International Airport serves as the main hub for travelers visiting the Katanga region. Limited direct international flights are available, often connecting via Johannesburg or Addis Ababa.
Other Airports: Mbuji-Mayi (MJM) and Goma (GOM) have very limited international service. Travelers from the U.S. typically fly into Kinshasa (FIH) or Lubumbashi (FBM) and connect domestically. Bukavu (BKY) and Kisangani (FKI) mainly serve domestic routes, with few regional international connections.
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.
