Burundi

Entertainment in Burundi

  1. A

    Chez Ruhara

    The ultimate club in Buj, Chez Ruhara is a cross between an underground rave in Africa and a scene straight out of Mad Max. Set in the basement of an unfinished tenement block on the back streets, there are steel poles sticking out and leaks on the stairs. But once inside, it really rocks and has deservedly earned the nickname 'Jazz Club'. African and international tunes, a steady flow of drinks and the option to go all night - welcome to the alternative Burundi.

    Eden du Lac

    A little way north of the Cercle Nautique, this garden bar is a local institution and is namechecked by most young Burundians when you ask them where to go. Drinking with a view and discerning dining.

    Havana Club

    Back in town, Havana Club is a popular nightspot throughout the week, but do take care in the surrounding area, as 'les petits bandits' are lurking.

    Le Braisière

    For live music, try Le Braisiere at Hôtel Cyrano, which usually has a local band playing on Saturday night from 19:00.
