When I first started this blog, my goal was to provide information about living & lifestyle for the whole of East Africa.
At the time, the East African Community was made up of three countries—Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda—all of which I felt I knew relatively well.
Then, Rwanda and Burundi became a part of the East African Community.
Although I had been to Rwanda before, I had never set foot in Burundi.
Still, I really wanted to deal with East Africa as a whole.
I realized: I would have to visit Burundi soon!
The Chance to Visit Burundi
Coincidentally, a couple of months later, an opportunity to do some work in Burundi came up (can anyone say The Secret?).
Without hesitation, I accepted the offer.
This is how I found myself, in Burundi, on a clear Tuesday in September, headed towards Shammah Hotel.
This would be my home-away-from-home during my week-long sojourn in Bujumbura.
To give you a little background on accommodation in Bujumbura, I’d heard from so many people that finding good (and affordable) accommodation is quite a challenging task.
A number of my friends, who travel there often, frequently complain about Hotel Source du Nil, one of the most prominent hotels in Bujumbura, primarily on the basis of its lack of hygiene.
They tell me that they often find the sheets dirty (suspecting previous use).
Some even say that they’ve seen vermin creeping through the hotel.
I do not know for sure how true these stories are. When it came to choosing where to stay in Bujumbura, though, I trusted these friends to recommend a suitable place.
This is how I ended up at Shammah Hotel.

Hi,
is it a common rule that unmarried couples
can’t share a hotel room in Kenya?
lol,not the kenya i know!so worry not!aint no one going to ask about your marriage status.
Hi Nell and Mimi,
Welcome to ChickAboutTown!
Nell, as Mimi said, not in the Kenya I know! 🙂 It’s not something that I have ever come across before (and I’ve stayed in my share of hotels in Kenya). The hotel I wrote about in this post is located in Burundi (just in case you didn’t realize).
I look forward to seeing more of both of you here, on ChickAboutTown.
Cheers,
Biche
I loved visiting Bujumbura and can’t wait to revisit. When were you there? We hear of such bad politics, it’s not clear whether there is any tourism right now.
What’s your view?
Hi Charlotte,
It’s a pleasure to see you on my blog. Thanks for leaving a comment. This post is from several years ago but I was resharing it because Shammah Hotel is still operational and getting lots of good reviews on TripAdvisor. But…I did ask myself if this was terrible timing to be sharing the post again given the situation in Burundi. About that, I wouldn’t travel there unnecessarily, but then again, I also know how much worse the media makes things look in Africa compared to what’s really happening on the ground (think: Ebola). I would have to talk to someone on the ground to get a good idea of how dangerous it is 1) for foreigners to travel there and 2) what life is like on a daily basis before I made a decision whether or not to go.
On a more positive note, what did you like about visiting Bujumbura? I was there for work so didn’t get to do a lot of tourism/travel stuff. Please share!
Biche
