During my stay in Bujumbura I stayed in the splendid hotel Burundi Palace where I only paid 10 US dollars a night in a single room. It was clean, centrically located, and the staffs nice and helpful. They can arrange you excursions around the country and tickets by boat through the Lake Tanganika (the second deepest in the world after Baikal Lake in Russia) to Tanzania, Republic Democratic of Congo or Zambia.
From Kigoma in Tanzania to Bujumbura in Burundi the boat journey will take you 12 hours. Usually it leaves during the night.
From Bujumbura to Kigali (capital of Rwanda) there are daily services which journey takes 12 hours.
Hotel Botanika: relaxed little place at central location

A little hotel at central location in Bujumbura, a few doors away from the Tourist information center. despite the location, rooms are quiet as facing the courtyard with the garden restaurant (which can also be warmly recommended, offering French inspired meals) Rooms have internet, and there is WLAN in the courtyard
spacious clean rooms, black and white pictures of jazz musicians from the 1930Žs New York scene blending with the discreet smooth jazz playing in the background when sitting in the patio/garden restaurant
