Both Burundi and Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) use Type C/E plugs, so your devices should plug right in. An adapter isn't strictly necessary for this trip.

On the voltage front, Burundi (220V, 50Hz) and Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) (220V, 50Hz) are identical. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.
