Welcome to Burkina Faso

  • Capital of Burkina Faso: Ouagadougou
  • Population of Burkina Faso: 18.5 million - 19th in Africa
  • Size of Burkina Faso: 274,000 km2 - 29th in Africa
  • Languages in Burkina Faso: French is the official language; also Moré, Dioula and Fulfulde
Landlocked Burkina Faso offers a welcoming atmosphere, varied landscape, and rich cultural heritage. One of the poorest countries in the world, the country features largely undeveloped towns boasting lively music scenes and interesting markets filled with stalls selling handcrafted goods. Tourism in Burkina Faso remains a struggling industry, and with a largely undeveloped infrastructure, most travelers stick to the big cities and arrange short day trips into the wilder areas. The natural areas of the country remain known more for their topography than wildlife, with grassy sloping hills, Precambrian massifs, and rugged sandstone peaks dominating the terrain.

Highlights

  • Take the scenic route to Ouagadougou via sacred rocks, mud mosques and the ‘African Pompeii’
  • Hike or bike to the Karfiguéla Waterfalls near Banfora
  • Look for locally made leather at the riotous Gorom-Gorom market
  • Consider basing yourself in Bobo-Dioulasso: visit the Museé Provincial du Houët to see regional African art, batik and sculpture then at night kick back in Bobo’s many bars, clubs and live music venues.
