Backpacking Low Cost in Burundi 🇧🇮- A day in Gitega - Cheap accommodation and great food 🇧🇮

 🇧🇮 1$ - 7600 burundi franc 🇧🇮

We stayed at Isanze Hotel in Gitega for 40k per night. The rooms are very clean, hot water and wifi. They also have a great garden and good food. 

For breakfast we had a milk tea (a big thermos), omelette and itoke (a big plate of cooked bananas with small aubergines and tomatoes) for 17k.

  

There’s a great market in the center - Marche de Gitega- where you can customize your clothes. 

Comparing with Kimirongo Market in Rwanda where they are completely hustelling you once you enter, here people are different and you can enjoy every corner of this big market.

We bought some fabrics and in less then 2 hours they designed me a great pair of pants and an great african blouse. The fabrics costs us 50k and tailoring 40k.     

Have in mind that the market closes at 6pm.

Here we bought the cheapest ananas for 2k and mango 1k.

 In the night you can also have a nice dinner from the street stalls- goat brochettes with cooked bananas or chips (1 brochette 5k and plate of bananas 4k). 

 While eating lot of locals come trying to sell their stuff. So you can buy fresh peanuts, bananas or even shoes or shirts.
