Turn left onto Route Nationale 1 and drive for approximately 10 km. Look for signs indicating Busumanyi; you will need to take a right turn onto a smaller road leading into the village of Busumanyi. Follow the road for about 5 km, and you will arrive at Mumika, located in a ravine. Ensure your vehicle can handle rough terrain, as some sections may be unpaved.

From the central bus station in Munyika, take a bus heading towards Busumanyi. Buses depart regularly throughout the day, but it’s best to check the schedule to confirm times. The fare is approximately 1,000 Burundian Francs. The journey takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Busumanyi, ask locals for directions to Mumika; it is about a 2 km walk from the bus stop. Follow the main road until you see signs for the ravine. Be prepared to walk on uneven paths.
