DISCLAIMER: I have to reiterate that this is based entirely on my own experience, which may not be typical. I am 6 feet 8 inches tall (that is just over 2 metres tall), and not of slender build! Hence, it is quite possible people do not threaten me as much as other tourists. It also means that my experiences may not be applicable to others visiting this country.

Primary reason I have not visited Burundi yet is that the political climate is unstable - even though a sizable contingent of South African troops are currently there in a peace-keeping role.  Also, there are no species that cannot be seen somewhere else more easily (as far as I know).
