Countries that border Burundi
3 land neighbours: the 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.
29 countries in Africa have more than its 3 land borders; it is the same as Botswana, Djibouti, Eritrea, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Mauritania, Malawi, Somalia and Togo. Of the 3 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. The DR Congo is the most connected of them, with 9 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Africa map with Burundi, and on the world map with everyone else.
