What you will see
Bujumbura is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:49:37 local time, the Moon hides 10.1% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:57:08 and ends at 13:38:58, 1 h 42 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 67° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Bujumbura.

The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Mukayrās, about 2,636 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 09 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
