According to itypeusa, Burundi is a landlocked country located in the eastern part of Africa, bordered by Tanzania, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has a population of around 11 million people and covers an area of 27,830 square kilometers. The official language is Kirundi although French and Swahili are also widely spoken. Burundi has a tropical climate with hot summers and warm winters. The economy is largely based on subsistence agriculture with coffee exports being an important source of income for many people. Burundi also has a rich cultural heritage due to its diverse population which includes several ethnic groups such as Hutu, Tutsi and Twa. The capital city is Bujumbura while other major cities include Gitega, Ngozi and Rutana. Burundi also boasts some beautiful national parks such as Kibira National Park or Ruvubu National Park which are great for wildlife watching or exploring the lush forests. In addition to its natural beauty and rich culture, Burundi also offers some great opportunities for adventure activities such as mountain biking through the hills of Matongo or kayaking along Lake Tanganyika. Burundi is located in the Central Africa Time Zone, which is two hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+2). This time zone is shared with other countries such as Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. During Daylight Saving Time (DST), clocks are moved forward one hour to UTC+3. DST begins on the last Sunday in October and ends on the last Sunday of March each year. Burundi is also part of the East African Summer Time (EAST) Zone, which is three hours ahead of UTC during DST. Most countries in East Africa observe DST from October to March each year, so Burundi follows suit. During this time period, it shares its time zone with other countries such as Tanzania and Kenya. Clocks are moved back one hour to UTC +2 when DST ends in March. In addition to observing Daylight Saving Time along with other parts of East Africa, Burundi also observes certain holidays with special times or exceptions to its standard time zone. For example, on New Year’s Day all clocks are moved forward by one hour for an additional hour of daylight savings time. On Liberation Day (the day celebrating Burundi’s independence from Belgium), all clocks are moved back by two hours so that people can attend celebrations earlier at night; this is known as “Liberation Miracle” or “Little Independence” in some parts of Burundi.
