Bujumbura Port is the largest port in Burundi and on Lake Tanganyika (followed by the ports of Matulungu in Zambia, Kalémie in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Kigoma in Tanzania). The port was built in the 1950s and although its facilities and equipment are old, they are considered to be in a relatively good state of repair. In 2010, the port’s facilities and equipment handled some 170 000 tonnes of goods, 100 000 of them by lake and 70 000 by land.More
