Eating Street Food in Burundi’s Local Markets 🇧🇮

In this video, I explore Bujumbura, Burundi, one of the most misunderstood countries in Africa. Before coming here, I heard that Burundi is one of the poorest and most dangerous countries in the world — but is that really true? Join me as I walk through the streets of Bujumbura, interact with locals, explore busy markets, try street food, and experience real life in Burundi.
