Burundi,
Social Profile
Food & Drink: The choice is limited. Meals in Bujumbura’s hotels are reasonable, but expensive and of fairly average quality. The French and Greek restaurants in the town are good. There are few restaurants outside the capital and Gitega.
Nightlife: There are several nightclubs, restaurants and bars in Bujumbura.
Shopping: Local crafts, particularly basketwork, make excellent buys. Shopping hours: Mon-Fri 0830-1200 and 1500; Sat 0830-1230.
Social Conventions: Normal social courtesies apply. However, outside the cities people may not be used to visitors, and care and tact must be used in respect of local customs. Inhabitants of major towns generally have a more modern way of life. Dress should be reasonably conservative. Tipping: As a rule, no service charge is levied automatically; 10 per cent is the recommended tip.
