What to expect

This day trip can be operated for individuals or groups. Mugamba: Heha Mount Hiking- Traditional houses- Cattle in traditional Burundi

This country is made of plateau mainly. Mount Heha, set in the Bujumbura Rural province of Burundi, is the loftiest mountain in Burundi and the steepest point in the Burundi Highlands mountain territory. It stretches to the east of Lake Tanganyika approximately 30 km.
The straw-roofed Rugo or traditional Burundian thatched houses are enveloped by a fence built with bamboo hedges. This empowers the residents with shelter against the icy weather, specifically night. These red and kaolin family residences are sprinkled across the region along with African Ankole Longhorn cattle breed.

That is the exploitation of local materials in the building. The houses found in this region are quite different from the Burundian traditional dwellings. With modernity, these houses have changed their format. This kind of dwellings resembles much the constructions met in Ethiopia around the Lake Wenchi.
