Burkina Faso Suggested Trips

This is the only city I saw in Burkina Faso. I found it to be a quite nice city. It was well kept and for the most part felt safe wandering its streets. One of the things you may want to check out is the Grande Mosquee which was constructed in 1893 and is an excellent example of mud mosques. The Kibidwe District is the old part of town and is interesting to wander around for a little bit. Another thing to check out is the Grande Marche which has quite a few decent souvenir shops.

Market at Gorom-Gorom near Dori is a must see. :)

The laid back capital of western Africa, like Bobo, a good place to relax a bit. 
If you like (foreign) film: check to see if the Panafrican Film and Television Festival ( FESPACO ) isn't being held.
If you want to splash out a bit on a fancy dinner: L'Eau Vive, a restaurant runned bij some nice nuns.

try to get here for the west african film festivals!

Meet with true Africa. Very touching people. Take care with the mosquitos and drink only in closed bottles.
