This collection of waterfalls are the Chutes de la Karera ✨.

Our visit to Burundi turned out to be a nice little adventure. The border post we picked, was so small that they only got foreigners once a year. We had to wait over an hour for the offical to arrive, and when he finally did he had to phone for explanation for every single step of the process. Meanwhile, entertainment was provided by a few baby goats, who casually roamed around his office and tried to chew on the computer cables.

The official exchange rate is around 3.000 Burundian Franc, but on the black market it is feasible to get a rate of 8.000. This means that everything becomes almost 3 times as cheap if you bring your own dollars, compared to getting the Francs from an ATM. Also due to this lack of hard currency in the country, there is no fuel, and basically all fuel stations have been closed. Knowing this, we filled up both our tanks before entering Burundi, and then planned to fill up again after we left. Or so we thought.

Of course, right then, and one of the very few times we actually needed the range of both tanks, we found out that our switch to the second tank was broken. So just before driving to the Karera falls we asked around, and it turns out that just like a black market for Dollars there is also a black market for fuel. It was not long before a taxi arrived with two jerrycans of something that might or might not have been diesel, and we were on our way!
