Stay : Western Burkina
Western Burkina offers a great cultural diversity, but also has magnificent natural sites. The region can be visited all year round: in the dry season, the "freshness" will be very appreciable, and in the winter season, the vegetation explodes and offers a very beautiful show of colors. Hereafter, a suggestion for 10 days through the Gourounsi, Bobo and Senoufo countries, at a steady pace of visit
