Burundi

Ecotourism is one of the major areas of tourism in Burundi. Kibira National Park, Rurubu River and Lake Tanganyika are considered major natural habitats for wildlife. There are also numerous wildfowl lakes, such as Rwihinda Lake Natural Reserve.
, Burundian Drummers locally known as Abatimbo, are one of the major cultural attractions. Wooden drums are part of ancient Burundi culture. Their sound is known as “ancient” and “sacred” sound in Burundi and also a symbol of unity. In 2014, the ritual Burundian drum dance was placed on UNESCO’S Intangible Heritage List. In 2017, President Pierre Nkurunziza limited drumming rituals to official events and banned women from drumming.
There is no UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site in Burundi but there are 10 sites which are on UNESCO’s tentative list. These 10 sites includes Gishora, Mugamba, Muramvya, Gasumo, (the southernmost source of the Nile), Lake Rwihinda Natural Reserve, Lake Tanganyika, Rusizi National Park, Kibira National Park Ruvubi Nayional Park and the Kagera Waterfall.
