End of the trip
After your breakfast, you will drive about 5hours to reach Bujumbura. In route, you will pass nearby migera in kabezi commune where you can take a small track on the right of the road for a few hundred meters, which reads to Akarava site. These are thermal waters that spring warm from the ground and give the grass that grows here a very special texture, hence the name Akarava. The place once had certain notoriety with its three pools: men, women, and children designed for dipping, but the war affected this part of Bujumbura rural and the site deteriorated. The ponds are overgrown with weeds but this phenomenon and the natural formation it creates on the ground are worth a stop. After this, you will drive some minutes to reach Bujumbura for your flight.
