Countries that border Burundi

3 land neighbours: DR Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. Each one has a page of its own.

Why this one is hard

3 neighbours, and 3 pairs of them border each other too.

Its 3 land borders are joint 7th-most in Africa — level with Botswana, Djibouti, Eritrea, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Malawi, Somalia and Togo. Of the 3 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. DR Congo is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Burundi, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.

The capital

Gitega

Capital Rush deals Burundi and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Africa board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.

The flag

Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Burundi is the one that owns it.
