Travel in Burkina Faso?
- Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world, but don't let this deter you. The country has beautiful nature, an interesting history of several Mossi kingdoms and also cultural traditions of nomadic peoples in the north of the country. Less than 35 percent of the population can read and write and the economy is largely dependent on foreign money donors. This makes the country not only a great travel destination but also a good country to volunteer in. Find out if the country's name, which literally means “land of honorable people,” lives up to its meaning!
- Check out the Grande Mosquée in Bobo-Dioulasso, a good example of Sudanese mud architecture.
- Visit the ethnography museum in the capital, Ouagadougou, which features artifacts from the Mossi culture.
- Go wildlife viewing in one of the national parks.
- Or do a trek through the desert in the north of the country.
