Kibira National Park

The protected area spans 400 square kilometers of mountain forests along the northwestern region of Burundi, bordering Rwanda's Nyungwe National Park.

The park gained its protected status on December 12, 1933, through the Ruanda-Urundi ordinance number 83, establishing regulations for forest conservation.

Local communities near the park maintain traditional practices of sustainable resource management, contributing to the long-term preservation of the forest ecosystem.

Visitors can access the park through guided tours from Bujumbura, with the dry seasons from June to September offering the most favorable conditions.

The national park contains essential water sources and serves as a sanctuary for numerous primate species, including colobus monkeys and various endemic birds.
