Bujumbura grew from a small village after it became a military post in German East Africa in 1889. After World War I it was made the administrative center of the Belgian League of Nations mandate of Ruanda-Urundi. The city's name was changed from Usumbura to Bujumbura when Burundi became independent in 1962. Since independence, Bujumbura has been the scene of frequent fighting between the country's two main ethnic groups, with Hutu militias opposing the Tutsi-dominated Burundi army.
Air Burundi, the national airline of Burundi, has its head office in Bujumbura.
RWANDAIR has offered discounts of 7% across the region for all its direct flights. Please take advantage of the offer! Click here to download the rates from Rwandair Click here to download rates from Kenya Airways |
