There are no scheduled internal flights at present.

Traffic drives on the right. Most roads are sealed. There are main roads east from Bujumbura to Muramvya (once the royal city of Burundi) and south to Gitega. Both journeys can be completed without too much strain during the dry season, but any road travel can be difficult in the rainy season. Travellers should exercise extreme caution when travelling on roads to Kayanza, Ngozi and Kirundo. Roads can be subject to ambushes and are often closed during military operations; major roads are closed after 1600.

Bus: There are services around Bujumbura and main towns only. Japanese-style minibuses operate between towns and are normally cheaper and less crowded than share-taxis; departures (when the vehicle is full) are normally from bus stations. The destination of the minibus is usually displayed in the front window.

Taxi: Tanus-tanus (truck taxis) are usually available but they are often crowded.

Car hire: It may be possible to arrange some form of car hire via a local garage.

Documentation: Driving licences issued by the UK are acceptable.
