Source of the Nile — Kasumo Pyramid Monument
Stand at the southernmost source of the world's longest river
About This Tour
At Kasumo in southern Burundi, a small pyramid marks what some geographers consider the southernmost source of the Nile — the longest river on Earth. German explorer Burkhart Waldecker identified this spring in 1934 as the farthest point of the Nile's watershed.
Visit the monument, learn the history of Nile source exploration, and stand at the start of a 6,650km journey to the Mediterranean Sea. Combine with nearby Rutana waterfalls for a full day of exploration.
