Best for: Drummers on UNESCO's list, and a beach on the world's second-deepest lake
Burundi in 5 days: Lake Tanganyika, the royal drummers and the Kibira forest
Bujumbura → Rusizi → Gitega → Gishora → Kibira → Bujumbura
A sand beach on a lake two kilometres deep, a sanctuary where the royal drummers perform a ritual that UNESCO protects, montane rainforest holding chimpanzees, and a disputed claim to the Nile's southernmost source — in one of the least visited countries in Africa.
