One of the world's deepest and oldest lakes lapping right up to the capital's beaches, drumming ceremonies performed with a discipline that borders on the military, and a coffee crop grown on hillsides that ring the whole city like an amphitheatre.
The best time to visit Bujumbura & Lake Tanganyika is Jun–Aug, when typical daytime highs reach about 28°C (82°F).
