Arriving in Bujumbura, I did not know anyone. Through InterNations I got in contact with the local expat community.

Learn about Expat Life in Burundi
Burundi, nestling between the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Rwanda, is a stunning region of natural beauty, where Lake Tanganyika, Africa's deepest lake, lies between breathtaking rock formations, waterfalls, and hot springs. Water skiing, sailing, and fishing are welcome on the lake, while Kajaga Beach is a popular destination. Burundi has plenty of restaurants, particularly in its capital, Bujumbura. Other activities include tennis, golf, bowling, horse riding, and a flying club. Its economy is mainly agricultural, the primary exports being coffee and tea, while the end of the civil war and a period of stability have improved Burundi's economic activity. There are several English-speaking schools and following Burundi's independence, the World Health Organization has been instrumental in improving public health services.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Japan or Egypt, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
