Imadutsa Rwanda kumpoto, Tanzania kum'mawa ndi kumwera, Congo (Golden) kumadzulo, ndi Lake Tanganyika kumwera chakumadzulo. Pali madera ndi mapiri ambiri m'derali, ambiri mwa iwo amapangidwa ndi chigwa chakum'mawa kwa Great Rift Valley. Kukwera kwapakati pa dzikolo ndi mita 1,600, komwe kumatchedwa "dziko lamapiri". Mapiri akumadzulo a Congo Nile amadutsa kumpoto ndi kumwera, ndikupanga chigwa chapakati, makamaka pamwamba pa 2000 mita pamwamba pa nyanja, yomwe ili pakati pa Mtsinje wa Nile ndi Mtsinje wa Congo (Zaire); dera lokweralo ndi lathyathyathya. Mitsinje ikuluikulu m'derali ndi yayikulu. Mitsinje ikuluikulu imaphatikizapo Mtsinje wa Ruzizi ndi Mtsinje wa Malagalasi.Mtsinje wa Ruvuwu ndiye gwero la Nailo. Malo otsika a Nyanja ya Tanganyika, chigwa chakumadzulo ndi gawo lakummawa zonse zili ndi nyengo yotentha; zigawo zapakati ndi kumadzulo zili ndi nyengo yamapiri otentha.

Mikwingwirima yoyera ikuluikulu ikudutsa mbendera imagawaniza mbenderayo m'makona atatu.M'munsi ndi pansi ndi ofanana ndipo ndi ofiira; kumanzere ndi kumanja kuli kofanana ndi kubiriwira. Pakatikati pa mbendera pali nthaka yoyera yoyera yokhala ndi nyenyezi zitatu zofiira zisanu ndi chimodzi zosongoka zokhala ndi mphako wobiriwira wopangidwa mozungulira. Chofiira chimayimira magazi a ozunzidwa omwe akumenyera ufulu, zobiriwira zimaimira zomwe zikufunidwa, ndipo zoyera zikuyimira mtendere pakati pa anthu. Nyenyezi zitatuzi zikuyimira "umodzi, ntchito, kupita patsogolo", komanso zikuyimira mafuko atatu aku Burundi-Ahutu, Atutsi, ndi Twa, komanso umodzi wawo.

Republic of Burundi ili ndi anthu pafupifupi 7.4 miliyoni (2005), opangidwa ndi mafuko atatu: Ahutu (85%), Atutsi (13%) ndi Twa (2%). Kirundi ndi French ndizo zilankhulo zovomerezeka.

Mizinda yayikulu

Bujumbura: Likulu la Bujumbura ndiye mzinda waukulu kwambiri mdzikolo, womwe kale unkadziwika kuti Uzumbra. Ili pagombe lakumpoto chakum'mawa kwa Nyanja ya Tanganyika, 756 mita kumtunda kwa nyanja. Chiwerengero cha anthu pafupifupi 270,000. Chakumapeto kwa zaka za zana la 19, inali maziko a atsamunda aku Germany kuti alande pakati pa Africa, ndipo pambuyo pake inali malo achitetezo ku Germany ndi Belgium kulamulira Luanda (masiku ano aku Rwanda) -Ulundi (Burundi yamasiku ano). Lero ndi likulu la zandale, zachuma komanso chikhalidwe. Bizinesi ya Bujumbura ya khofi, thonje komanso zogulitsa nyama ndizabwino. Nsomba zam'madzi am'mbali mwa nyanja ndizofunikira. Pali zokonza zaulimi, chakudya, nsalu, simenti, zikopa ndi mafakitale ena ang'onoang'ono, omwe ndi omwe amathandizira kwambiri mdziko muno. Ndi gawo lofunikira loyendera madzi ndi nthaka komanso njira yolowera ndikutumiza kunja. Misewu imatsogolera ku Rwanda, Zaire, Tanzania ndi matauni akuluakulu apanyumba. Njira yodutsa Nyanja ya Tanganyika kupita ku Port Kigoma ku Tanzania, kenako ndikupita ku Indian Ocean pa njanji, ndi njira yofunikira yolumikizirana ndi akunja. Pali eyapoti yapadziko lonse lapansi. Chikhalidwe chachikulu ndi University of Burundi ndi African Civilization Museum.

Anthu achi Tutsi amatha kuimba ng'oma komanso kufalitsa nkhani mokweza, ndipo amachita zikondwerero zovina ng'oma chaka chilichonse. Nyumba zamatauni zimakhala ndi zipinda ziwiri kapena zitatu, ndipo nyumba zambiri zakumidzi ndizomanga njerwa. Chakudya chachikulu cha anthu mdziko muno ndi mbatata, chimanga, manyuchi, komanso chakudya chosadya kwenikweni chomwe chimaphatikizapo ng'ombe ndi nyama zaziwisi, nsomba, ndiwo zamasamba zosiyanasiyana ndi zipatso.
