Exotic Fruit Sampling
Have a taste of adventure without breaking the bank by exploring the vibrant marketplace of Burundi. Go on a hunt for the most exotic fruits you can find and learn about these unusual treats from the friendly locals. Feel free to ask for sample tastes before you buy!
- Your adventure begins at the bustling Kirundo market just after sunrise. As you walk along the busy streets, the vibrant colors of the market will catch your eyes. From fruits you've never seen before to ones you can't even pronounce, this place has everything!
- Your second stop is the well-known Ngozi market. The smell of ripe fruits will greet your senses as you venture deeper into the market. Do not hesitate to ask the vendors questions about the fruits. They'll be more than happy to share their knowledge and might even let you try a sample!
- The last part of your date is spent in a quiet park, revealing and sampling the exotic fruits you've collected for the day. It's a simple yet exciting activity that doesn't only challenge your taste buds but also your adventurous spirit.
Preparation steps:
- Since you're going to a public market, it's best to dress comfortably. Wear clothing that is breathable and suitable for the warm weather in Burundi. Don't forget to bring a shopping bag for the fruits you will buy. It's also a good idea to do a quick research about the local fruits in Burundi so you have some information beforehand.
- Don't bring too much cash with you for safety reasons. The fruits are normally sold at a low price, so you won't need much. Be ready to haggle. The locals admire someone who can haggle their way to a good deal.
- Lastly, make sure to bring your adventurous spirit with you. You'll be trying a variety of fruits that you probably haven't tasted before. Be open to the experience and have fun.

Some tips:
- Start early in the day, preferably right after breakfast. This is when the fruits are freshest and the market is not yet too crowded.
- It's always good to remember that haggling is a part of the buying experience. Offering a price that is too low might insult the vendor, so try to suggest a price that is fair for both of you.
- Stay hydrated. The weather in Burundi can get quite warm, so it's important to drink plenty of water. You certainly don't want to get heat stroke in the middle of your date.
