Bujumbura - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
Would say as a single that it is not a great place for singles – could see this as a decent place for families with young kids, who could run around the big yard of their parent’s beautiful house in the hills and go to international schools. I enjoy being on my own but since the travel opportunities are limited or expensive, Bujumbura felt pretty isolating at times. - Aug 2023
This is a great place to be if you are going to be overseas in Africa. - Mar 2021
It is good for families and couples. Horrible for singles. - Aug 2015
Yes, more for singles and couples and families with very young children than for families with older children, I would guess. - Aug 2009
It’s probably better for singles and couples without children. There are a lot of younger Americans and Europeans working for NGOs so there’s a pretty good “grown up” scene. - Oct 2008
