Burundi, landlocked republic, eastern Africa, bordered on the north by Rwanda, on the east and south by Tanzania, and on the west by Lake Tanganyika and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With an area of 27,834 sq km (10,747 sq mi), it is one of the smallest countries on the African continent. The capital of Burundi is Bujumbura.
