Burundi, officially the Republic of Burundi, is a landlocked country in the Great Rift Valley where the African Great Lakes region and East Africa converge. Burundi is known as “ The Heart of Africa” because of its shape and location within the continent. Warm climate, warm hospitality and fantastic natural beauty makes it a great tourist hot spot.

Burundi is also a pet friendly country to travel to. While relocating with pets, it is important to keep the following things in mind-

  • The first step is to microchip your pet with a 15-digit ISO compliant pet microchip.
  • While a rabies titer test is not mandatory, all pets must be vaccinated against rabies between 30 days to 12 months of entering the country.
  • An import permit is not required when entering Burundi with a personal pet.
  • Pets must enter Burundi via Bujumbura International Airport at Bujumbura.
  • All domestic dogs and cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the entry airport.
  • Burundi does not publish a list of banned breeds.
