Language
French and Kirundi are the official languages and Swahili
is widely spoken along Lake Tanganyika and in the Bujumbura
area.
Money
The official currency is the Burundian franc (BIF), which is
divided into 100 centimes. Since Burundi started issuing its own
currency, centimes have not been produced. Currency exchange can be
conducted at a main bank in Bujumbura or Gitega. US dollars, dating
before 2003, are often not accepted. Travellers cheques in US
dollars or Euros are accepted but commission rates are high. Banks
are open from Monday to Friday in the morning only. Credit cards
are rarely accepted and ATMs are not readily available, so it is
wise to bring the necessary capital in an easily exchangeable
currency.
