STISALI

Reliable but not very punctual, the company's air-conditioned buses are ageing. From Lomé, it runs twice daily to the north of the country as far as Cinkassé, a town on the border with Burkina Faso, and then on to Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. Fares are still very affordable for the long journeys it offers. As with most bus companies, checked baggage is included in the fare. Remember to book at least two days before departure, and arrive an hour early on the day.
