In the quiet northern reaches of Burundi lies a place where the sky and water seem to breathe as one — Lake Rwihinda, known across the region as “The Bird Lake.” It is a sanctuary of peace, rhythm, and color, where each sunrise awakens a chorus of wings. As the mist rises over the lake, hundreds of flamingos lift gracefully into the air, crowned cranes call from the reeds, and pelicans drift like silver boats across the calm surface.
