6 days in Bujumbura Itinerary

Change things up with these side-trips from Bujumbura: Gitega (National Museum of Gitega & Gishora Drum Sanctuary). Spend the 25th (Sun) in the pleasant surroundings of Rusizi National Park. There's lots more to do: appreciate the history behind Livingstone-Stanley Monument, steep yourself in history at Musee Vivant, don't miss a visit to Monument de l'Unite, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Regina Mundi Cathedral.
