Bujumbura, formerly Usumbura, is the economic capital, former political capital, largest city and main port of Burundi. It ships most of the country's chief export, coffee, as well as cotton and tin ore. Bujumbura was formerly the country's political capital. In late December 2018, Burundian president Pierre Nkurunziza announced that he would follow through on a 2007 promise to return Gitega its former political capital status, with Bujumbura remaining as economical capital and center of commerce. A vote in the Parliament of Burundi made the change official on 16 January 2019, and as of late 2025, the transition is still ongoing, having been estimated to end in 2022.

Bujumbura is the capital city of Burundi, a small country in East Africa. Despite being one of the smallest cities in Africa, Bujumbura is blessed with natural beauty, cultural richness, and a unique charm that makes it a must-visit destination for any traveler.

One of the main attractions of Bujumbura is Lake Tanganyika, the second deepest lake in the world. The clear waters of the lake offer a perfect spot for swimming, fishing, and boating. You can also take a stroll along the sandy beaches, enjoy a picnic, or watch the sunset over the horizon.
