Kibira National Park is the perfect getaway for adventurous tourists and wildlife lovers. The Kibira National Park along with the Kibira forest in Burundi is the best place to check out some unique wildlife species of this African nation. Red colobus monkeys, baboons, chimpanzees and the crested Mangabeys are some of the amazing creatures of the Kibira National Park in Burundi.

Kibira National Park is located about 48 kilometers to the north east side of Bujumbura and has poor road connectivity of up to 100 miles. The path of the park is generally used by the patrols and the motorized tourists. The park occupies an area of about 40,000 ha of forest land and is still an unexplored paradise of Burundi. The mountain chain surrounding the park hides the awesome view of the thermal springs but while heading towards the park, the tea plantations of Teza and Rwegura offer some of the best scenic attractions.

The Kibira National Park has a rich variety of wildlife flora and fauna. About 98 different species of mammals, 644 species of plants and flowers and more than 200 species of birds have been discovered at the park. The preservation of the Kibira National Park is mainly done for eco-tourism as it is the single mountainous forest in the entire Burundi area. Thus the Kibira National Park is a great place to hangout while touring the beautiful country of Burundi and is one of the best Burundi tourist attractions.
