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
