Hello, not mine, second hand info from my good friend who did it few month ago:
* ferry from Burundi (Rumuje) to Tanzania (Kigoma) costs 4.000 TSH, departs everyday at 3 PM, duration 12 hrs. Immigration at Kigoma starts operations at 8 a.m. so the ferry has to wait for this time, c.a. 5 hrs drifting nearby.
* ferry from Bujumbura to Rumuje is 2.000 BFR, 2.5 hrs
* ferry from Byjumbura to Kigoma departs on Tuesdays only. 3 classes of tickets: III - sitting 25 usd; II berth - 30 usd; I bed - 35 usd. Departs midday, arrives 8 AM next day.
* Rwandan visa at the border is 60 usd for 2 weeks (?).
* Burundi visa at the border 40 usd for 2 weeks, 20 or 10 (?) usd for 48hrs transit.
* Tanzanian visa at the border with Burundi is 50 usd.
Cheers!
