LA DOUANE DU PORT

The customs office is located in a large hangar at the end of the port. Its agents are welcoming, and although they have common tasks to perform, they can give interesting information about the networks and products of the lake trade.

The vessels that berth here are of all sizes and come from the coast of Burundi as a Tanzanian. The jetty serves both the landing of the goods of the lake, the filling of the trucks, thus supplying the local markets and the capital, and the spontaneous sale of the products. It's a real meeting point, or it's combined with fishermen, big and small traders in Burundi and East Africa, and it's Africa, the farmers of nearby hills, urban or urban commerçants— it's that some products are very good value for money, like fish, oil and rice, and also loincloths printed from Tanzania, or flour and flour. long-lasting cassava paste (shikwenge).

Just behind the harbour, it is possible to observe snakes and crocodiles in an old gentleman for 1 000 BIF per person. It is regrettable that the size of the cages and the maintenance of animals seem to be a little fair, but the area is known in the vicinity.
