Cool Down at Karfiguéla Falls

Well, Karfiguéla Falls, a succession of swimming pools and waterfalls along the Komoé River, are a perfect spot to cool down while also admiring the natural beauty of the region. Though the falls are always flowing, they are at their peak during or soon after the rainy season, which may make getting there by road an adventure in and of itself.

Go Hiking in the Southwest

The best hiking areas are around the Banfora escarpment. It offers panoramic views of the entire region. The Sénoufo region west of Banfora is likewise extremely nice, as is the Lobi region southeast of Bobo Dioulasso in Gaoua. For those wanting thrill, mountain bike rides may also be organised in these places.

Explore the Crowded Streets of Bobo Dioulasso

The picturesque streets of Bobo Dioulasso's busy market, the Grand Marché, are the lifeblood of the Bobo people's major town. Other attractions in the city include the Musée Provincial du Hout, which houses regional artefacts and arts and crafts, and the impressive mud-brick Grande Mosquée in the Kibidwé area.

Mingle with Royalty in Tiébélé

The Royal Court of Tuébélé is a sprawling traditional Sahelian compound of brightly painted, windowless mud buildings that house 450 people. These constructions are generally built in a figure of eight, with low doors and gloomy interiors. The outside walls are adorned with black, brown, and white symbolic geometric motifs that are changed annually in February or March.

Discover the Mossi Empire in Ouagadougou

Since the 15th century, Ouagadougou has been an important centre of the Mossi Empire, and its Ethnography Museum houses a large collection of Mossi artefacts. In 1681, the Moro-Naba monarch made it his permanent palace. The Bangr-Weoogo urban park, which was previously the tribe's holy forest, gives much-needed green space to the metropolis. Pabre, a historic Mossi settlement, is not far distant.

Explore the International Arts and Crafts Fair's Wares

The International Arts and Crafts Fair, held every two years in the city of Ouagadougou, is one of Africa's most prominent trade events and has been popular with bargain seekers since its start in the early 1980s. Visitors may purchase a variety of items ranging from jewellery and fabrics to carvings and complex metalwork.

Visit Hippo Lake

The Hippo Lake (or Mare aux Hippopotames) was built around a freshwater lake, marshes, and woodlands inundated by the Black Volta River in 1937. It is home to around 100 hippos and is also a significant location for wetland species. For a modest price, visitors can be transported out in a pirogue to see the hippos.

Get up Early for Moro-Naba Ceremony

Every Friday at about 6:00 AM, the Nabayius Gou ('the Emperor goes to battle') event is held in the MoroNaba Palace in Ouagadougou. It shows the gorgeously bedecked emperor being restrained by his wife as well as his followers as he prepares to wage war on his brother.
