Bodyguards and Executive Protection in Bujumbura, Burundi
Whether you live in Bujumbura or are flying in for business, we keep you and your family safe. Bujumbura is Burundi's largest city and its economic capital, on the shore of Lake Tanganyika. The political capital moved to Gitega in 2019, but most business is still done here. The Blackwolf Group Global gives you bodyguards, secure drivers and risk planning for every day you spend in Bujumbura.
Bujumbura needs local knowledge. The city sits between Lake Tanganyika and steep hills, and a few main roads link the centre, the lakeshore and Melchior Ndadaye International Airport. Fuel and power supplies can be unreliable, so plans can change at short notice. Every route has to be planned by people who know the city.

Threat picture
Bujumbura at the elevated risk band
Bujumbura carries real risk. Street crime and armed robbery happen, most of all after dark, and people who look wealthy can draw attention. Political tension can rise around elections, and some border areas of Burundi are covered by travel warnings. From the moment you confirm, our team checks your routes and venues before you arrive and writes a daily threat brief. We keep it updated for as long as we protect you.
Our risk briefings draw on public information, what we learned on earlier jobs in the area, and regular contact with trusted local partners. If the risk changes while we protect you, the team is told straight away.
