Burkina Faso - Oasis Highlights

There are so many highlights in this fascinating country that it is impossible to list them all here. Our travel consultants will discuss your interests and be able to put a specific itinerary together for you, but below are a few must seeā€™s!

TiƩbƩlƩ

Set in the heart of the green and low-lying Kassena country, 40km east of PƓ on a dirt track, TiƩbƩlƩ, is famous for its Sukhala. Colourful, windowless traditional houses, painted by women in geometrical shapes of red, black and white guinea-fowl feathers. These houses offer an antidote to the monochrome mudbrick villages found elsewhere in Burkina Faso.

 

Ouagadougou

Ouagadougou the nationā€™s capital or Ouaga, as it’s affectionately dubbed, is a thriving, metropolis, resplendent with dance, live bands and theatre companies. The town has a busy festival schedule and beautiful handicrafts. Its streets are a lively, dusty mix of concrete and red roads, thousands of mopeds, street-peddlers and exuberant life that more than makes up for the capital’s lack of significant sights.

 

Banfora

Banfora may appear as a sleepy town, but it is best described as one of the most beautiful areas in Burkina Faso. It makes an ideal base for exploring the lush surrounding countryside: scaling up the magnificent DƓmes de Fabedougou and taking a dip in the KarfiguƩla Falls and a boat ride on TengrƩla Lake
