Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso is located in Africa in the Sahel region and is between the rainforests of the coast and the Sahara Desert. Situated on a savanna, the environment consists of brush, occasional trees and fields. Neighbors include Niger and Mali on the Northwest; the capital of Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou. With wet and dry seasons that are very pronounced, it is about the size of the state of Colorado. Some of the lesser known facts regarding Burkina Faso include the following:

une balade à Banfora
Banfora est l'une des destinations touristiques majeures du Burkina Faso. Découvrez les alentours de cette zone dans une petite balade guidée...
Banfora Is One Of The Best Places in Burkina Faso
Banfora is a city in south western Burkina Faso with a population of 93,750 people. It is the capital of the Comoe province. The city lies 85 kilometers south-west of Bobo-Dioulasso, on the Abidjan – Ouagadougou Railway.
Banfora is a sleepy town in one of the most beautiful areas in Burkina Faso. It has delightful accommodation and eating options and therefore makes an ideal base for exploring the lush surrounding countryside. The town itself has a lively Sunday market, with plenty of goods from nearby Côte d'Ivoire.
The town of Banfora is easily Burkina Faso’s biggest tourism center, and there is good reason why. While the town of Banfora itself is quite pleasant, it is the surrounding region that is full of worthy tourism gems. The best part is that all of the places are easy to visit and hassle-free. From waterfalls, to hippos, to the beautiful Sindou Peaks, there’s enough excitement around Banfora to keep you in the area for at the very least a couple days. This town has all the makings of a backpacker’s paradise, and I have to think that if it manages to cling somewhat to what it is now, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a much larger tourism destination than it already is.

Entry from: Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso
Entry Title: Bobo
Entry:
We have departed from Mali and crossed into Burkina Faso. Immediately we noticed a difference; things seem more organized here, from the way the markets are set up to the courtesy of drivers on the road. In Bobo we visited the sacred fish pool just outside of town. Getting there was an adventure in itself -- our cab as a beat-up Mercedes diesel sedan with over 330,000 km on it and about 30 years old. The car had to be push-started from our hotel -- a sure sign that it asn't in top mechanical condition. The road to the pool was very rocky and uneven, and while passable with a Land Rover or something, seemed quite sketchy with a sedan. On a couple of occasions as the driver went over bumps we could feel the ground scraping through the floorboards. We made it, though, and hiked down a canyon to the fish pond. These are huge catfish -- over 3 feet long. How do they get so big? Some people throw pieces of raw chicken into the pond to feed them. Some of the activity is for tourists, but we did see a couple of men talking to the fish (praying?) as they threw chicken intestines in... In any case, it was interesting to see. But then, there is the matter of the cab ride back... We make it back to our taxi and our driver checks the water in the radiator before starting. It must be low since he gets some water out of the trunk to add, he pours it in but it just flows to the ground. Hmmm I think there is a problem. We pile out of the car and in 15 minutes he has the radiator out. The bottom coils are completely shredded and water pours out. Hmmm, now I'm pretty sure there's a problem. I should also point out that the fan just has stubs and no blades. I wonder how long he had been driving around like that. He goes over to the little mud hut that is near where we parked and borrows the bicycle leaning on the side of the house. He straps on the radiator on the back and then comes to talk to us under the shade tree where we have taken cover. It's kind of a difulicult conservation since he is speaking in French and we don't know French, but we figure out that he needs money to get the radiator fixed. The previously agreed price for our round trip ride is 15,000 CFA (about $30) for all of us. Considering that we already gave him 3,000 CFA to fill up with gas on his way out we just give him 5,000 CFA (about $10) and hope that he will come back for us. We watch him ride off into the bush and wonder when he might be back after all his precious car is here. I need to remind you that we are in the middle of nowhere. There is one mud house next to us but no other building in site and we are a good 30 minutes (by car) from the town. We spend the next hour under the tree and watch the cows that have come to graze near by and ponder when and how we will get back to the town. Then, our taxi driver returns on a motorcycle with a new (used) radiator and fan, along with 5 little bottles of water that we drink within minutes. 20 minutes later the car is fixed. Of course it still doesn't start, so we need to push start it down the dirt road, which is fortunately flat. Nathan and a few others get behind and start pushing. Within a few feet we hear a large sputter and a catch of the engine and the guys are lost in a big puff of black diesel smoke (got to love the non-existing smog control) The whole thing seamed like it was out of a Crocodile Dundee type of movie. It will be a cab ride not to forget. For $4 we have decided to upgrade from our tent on the hotel grounds to a hotel room for the 2 nights we are in Bobo. Now before you think we are staying at the Holiday Inn I'll describe the room. It is a concrete slab with concrete walls and a thatched ceiling. The walls were painted years ago but now are covered with squashed bugs and other mysterious stains. There is a plywood bed with slats and a foam mattress with one sheet provided, but of course we pull out our sleep sacks. The window and door are just metal slats without screens so thankfully there is a mosquito net over the bed. For a nightstand there is an upside down wood stick crate. We also have a little metal table and a ...
