Burundi, landlocked republic in eastern Africa, bounded on the north by Rwanda, on the east and south by Tanzania, and on the west by Lake Tanganyika and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire). Formerly ruled by tribal monarchies, the area that is now Burundi was colonized by Germany in the late 19th century and under German and then Belgian administration until its independence in 1962. Bujumbura is the capital and largest city. With an area of 27,834 sq km (10,747 sq mi), Burundi is one of Africa's smallest countries. Most of the country is a hilly plateau region, with elevations ranging between 1,400 and 1,800 m (between 4,600 and 5,900 ft). Elevations decrease gradually to the east and southeast. The narrow western margin, bordering the Ruzizi River and Lake Tanganyika, lies in the trough of the Great Rift Valley. Southeast of Bujumbura, Burundi's highest peak, Karonje, rises to an elevation of 2,760 m (9,055 ft). The population of Burundi (2000 estimate) is 5,930,805. The overall density of 213 persons per sq km (552 per sq mi) is one of the highest in Africa. The population is 92 percent rural. Most Burundians live in family groupings dispersed throughout the highlands, and villages are uncommon.
