Kibira National Park

Burundi

Kibira National Park

North-western Burundi, bordering Rwanda · June–August and December–January

Kibira National Park protects montane rainforest in the north-west of Burundi, close to the border with Rwanda and the Nyungwe forest. It is home to primates including chimpanzees, baboons and the rare golden monkey, alongside a good range of forest birds.

What you can do here

Guided forest walks are the main activity, with the chance to see primates and birds in a quiet, little-visited setting. Facilities are simpler than in Rwanda’s parks, so it suits travellers who value a less developed experience.

When to go

The drier windows, June to August and December to January, are generally the most comfortable for forest walking.

Adding it to your safari

Kibira fits naturally after Nyungwe in Rwanda. We arrange the border logistics, permits and guides.

Questions about Kibira National Park

View all FAQs →
Can I ask questions before booking?

Yes. Use the planning form, WhatsApp or email to discuss your plans before making a booking decision.

Can Offmap Safaris create a tailor-made itinerary?

Yes. Safari itineraries can be shaped around your interests, pace, travel style, dates and preferred level of accommodation.

Can you arrange a family safari with children?

Yes. Certain parks, lodges and experiences suit families with children better than others (age limits apply to gorilla trekking, for example), and we can shape an itinerary with that in mind.

Can you arrange a safari for a solo traveller?

Yes, we regularly plan safaris for solo travellers, either as a private itinerary or joining scheduled small-group departures where available.

Do your prices include international flights?

Safari pricing covers the itinerary itself (accommodation, park fees, permits where applicable, guiding and ground transport as specified) while international flights to and from East Africa are arranged separately by the traveller unless otherwise agreed.

How do I know which safari is right for me?
