Burundi is still visitable for leisure, but it is a difficult and risk-heavy destination right now. Most official advisories flag serious security concerns, border disruptions, fuel shortages, and a heavy reliance on cash. Travel is most feasible for tightly planned trips centered on safer areas, with caution about border zones and changing local conditions.
