Seeing our photos again, those smiles, those faces, those animals living in freedom&#8230; Frankly, this trip has totally overwhelmed me. For 10 days, I took the time to live at the rhythm of the country, I let myself be overwhelmed by my emotions, I shed a few tears, I admired the beauty of nature, the simplicity and humility of the Burkinabe. Despite the somewhat tense atmosphere caused by the attacks on Ouaga at the beginning of March (we left the next day), we were able to experience a unique and unforgettable trip.    <\/p>\n<h2>Why travel to sub-Saharan Africa?<\/h2>\n<p>My boyfriend and I have a medium-term plan to travel around the world. So it was essential for me to discover Africa. Like India, it&#8217;s the kind of destination that leaves no one indifferent. You either love it or you hate it. You just have to be aware of it. It&#8217;s so far removed from our developed countries. Personally, I&#8217;ve always wanted to discover other cultures, other ways of life. So I was really looking forward to discovering the people of Burkina Faso. We chose this country because my darling had already visited Cameroon, Senegal and Benin.        <\/p>\n<p><strong>We wanted this trip to include a solidarity component.  <\/strong>In this part of the world, we receive a lot. It&#8217;s also important to give. Thanks to friends who live there, we were able to pack schoolbooks for the<a href=\"http:\/\/oxygenezorgho.e-monsite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;oxyg\u00e8ne zorgho<\/a>&#8221; association, which is setting up a literacy center in the town of Boudry. I also wanted to pack horse-riding equipment, as an episode of the magazine<a href=\"https:\/\/www.france.tv\/france-5\/echappees-belles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;\u00e9chapp\u00e9es belles<\/a>&#8221; about the country featured young horse enthusiasts who, despite their low incomes, gave their all for their animals. I&#8217;d like to thank <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesecuriesduclos.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ecuries du Clos<\/a> for giving me two saddles. Finally, we wanted to provide training in social networking and investigative journalism on a voluntary basis to local journalists and communicators.    <\/p>\n<h2>Preparing for your trip<\/h2>\n<p>When we were looking for plane tickets, we found flights from Nantes (I love it because it&#8217;s right next door to our house! Thanks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nantes.aeroport.fr\/fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A\u00e9roport Nantes<\/a>:)) via Casablanca with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalairmaroc.com\/fr-fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Royal Air Maroc<\/a>. Perfect for avoiding the fatigue of the return trip. Our flights were around 550 euros. On the other hand, while I appreciated the food on board, I was really disappointed by the fact that two suitcases were lost during our transit. Even though we got them back two days later, we had to go through the airport again when we would have preferred to visit something else!     <\/p>\n<p>To the tickets, add the cost of a visa (70 euros) and vaccinations. Yes, going to Africa means being up to date with your vaccinations. You can&#8217;t leave without at least a yellow fever vaccination (at the CHU de Nantes tropical medicine center for Loire-Atlantique residents). Personally, my doctor also advised me to get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid. Finally, don&#8217;t forget the anti-malaria medication. All in all, around 170 euros.     <\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, the most painful costs are over!<\/p>\n<p>On the spot, life is much less expensive and if you follow our advice and our good addresses, you&#8217;ll see that in the end, compared to a travel agency, the price is almost halved \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2312 size-full\" title=\"Map of Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite.jpg\" alt=\"Map of Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"945\" height=\"756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite.jpg 945w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Landing and acclimatization in Ouaga<\/h2>\n<p>Having landed in Ouaga at night, we headed straight for our first B&#038;B,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ChezsegochambresdhotesOuagadougou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Chez Sego<\/a>&#8220;.

The rooms have all the necessary comforts (air-conditioning, mosquito nets, hot water, etc.), there&#8217;s a refreshing swimming pool after a day in 40\u00b0 heat, and the breakfasts are simple but the local produce (papaya, zebu milk fromage blanc, pineapple jam) are perfect!

My first impulse is to go to a hairdresser and get my hair braided. If you&#8217;ve read my article on our <a href=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/en\/globe-trotter\/preparation-and-activity-ideas-for-3-weeks-in-guadeloupe\/\">trip to Guadeloupe<\/a>, you&#8217;ll know that I love having my hair braided, as it allows me to spend some time in contact with the locals and &#8220;get into the swing of things&#8221; \ud83d\ude42 We stroll around the neighborhood (la zone du bois) around the B&#038;B, very quiet and residential. Eventually, we find a salon near the &#8220;tar&#8221; (a term used by the locals to designate an asphalt street, rather rare in a country of dirt streets). Many women and girls are waiting patiently for their turn. That&#8217;s when I realize that in Africa, people take their time! I take advantage of this moment to observe the faces, the laughter, the ways of expressing themselves, totally different from ours. I just love it!       <\/p>\n<p>When it&#8217;s my turn (2h30 later!), I ask for two simple braids, but the women advise me to buy additions, otherwise they explain that the hairstyle won&#8217;t last over time. I hesitate a little because I know my hair is really fine and fragile, but I&#8217;m finally convinced \ud83d\ude42 The young hairdresser, incredibly talented, takes the plunge. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2397 size-full\" title=\"Hair braiding in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-06.jpg\" alt=\"Hair braiding in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-06.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-06-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-06-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-06-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2398 size-full\" title=\"Hair braiding in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-07.jpg\" alt=\"Hair braiding in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-07.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-07-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2399 size-full\" title=\"Hair braiding in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-08.jpg\" alt=\"Hair braiding in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-08.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-08-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-08-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With patience and meticulousness, she creates a total of 6 large braids.

On a street corner, we greet and wish good evening to two Burkinab\u00e9s having a drink at a bar table. They invite us to join them&#8230; and with great pleasure, we accept! We then have a wonderful meeting with two friends, Charles and Estelle. Together, we discuss everything and anything, learning about their country, its customs and habits.

After the evening, we create a group on &#8220;What&#8217;s app&#8221; and promise to meet again before we leave! A great start to our trip!       <\/p>\n<p>The next day, we continued our exploration of the city, but the terrorist attacks of the last few days meant we had to avoid areas that were too touristy&#8230; like Ouaga&#8217;s big market.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2402 size-full\" title=\"Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-012.jpg\" alt=\"Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-012.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-012-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-012-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2403 size-full\" title=\"Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-013.jpg\" alt=\"Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-013.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-013-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-013-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We also take the opportunity to collect our luggage from the airport and visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elitisexpress.com\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elitis<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elitisexpress.com\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Express<\/a> bus company to buy our tickets for our getaway to Bobo-Dioulasso.

The look on his face and his humility on receiving this gift really touched me. I gave the second saddle to the owner of a horse we saw near the guesthouse. He was also very touched by our gift! I think at first he even thought we wanted to buy him his horse \ud83d\ude42 He explained that saddles were very rare in Africa, and very expensive.

We hardly dare to breathe or move, for fear of disturbing this tribe, which lives in total freedom. All my life, I&#8217;ve always seen elephants locked up, whether in circuses or animal parks. I have to say that after this encounter, I now understand why the animal should remain in its natural environment as much as possible. It&#8217;s truly incredible to see how they move around, how the older ones protect their young and their mothers. How they can show signs of irritation if they feel threatened&#8230; Magical&#8230; and unforgettable.      <\/p>\n<p>After these emotions, we discover the camp. Yes, we have to get there before dark, as electricity is only available from 6pm to 10pm! (thanks to the generator). And don&#8217;t count on wifi \ud83d\ude42 For once, it&#8217;s a chance to really switch off and enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer. We take possession of our rudimentary but clean room. There&#8217;s water, but only a trickle of cold water!

The aim is to take advantage of the sunrise to catch a glimpse of the animals in the early morning, before it gets too hot and they seek shade for protection. <\/p>\n<p>Here again, the visit is full of wonderful encounters. As we leave the camp, we catch a glimpse of a family of baboons. A little further on, we come across hinds and warthogs. Horse antelopes, vultures and&#8230; best of all, new herds of elephants.   <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2438 size-full\" title=\"Monkeys at Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-085.jpg\" alt=\"Monkeys at Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-085.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-085-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-085-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2439 size-full\" title=\"Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-095.jpg\" alt=\"Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-095.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-095-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-095-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2445 size-full\" title=\"Elephants at Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0124.jpg\" alt=\"Elephants at Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0124.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0124-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0124-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2446 size-full\" title=\"Elephants at Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0107.jpg\" alt=\"Elephants at Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0107.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0107-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0107-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2448 size-full\" title=\"Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0118.jpg\" alt=\"Nazinga camp in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0118.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0118-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0118-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re leaving with memories that will stay with us forever.<\/p>\n<p>Inoussa drives us back to Ouaga, and before heading back to &#8220;Chez Sego&#8221;, we make our first stop at a restaurant I highly recommend: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freunde-fuer-ampo.de\/fr\/projets\/mam-dunia-ecole-de-cuisine-et-restaurant-atelier.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mam Dounia<\/a>. This restaurant was created by a German woman, Katrin Rohde, who has lived here for over 20 years. She takes care of a lot of people, especially children and women. She founded her association &#8220;AMPO&#8221;, which means &#8220;A good is never lost&#8221; in the local language. With her team, she has opened various structures: orphanages for boys and girls, shelters for repudiated women, training workshops, a cooking school and a &#8220;Mam-Dunia&#8221; workshop restaurant. In the restaurant, young women from the orphanage learn African and European cuisine. Its reputation extends far beyond the city&#8217;s borders for the meticulous care taken to clean and prepare its fine cuisine. And personally, I can confirm it: we tasted mango and avocado salads to die for!       <\/p>\n<p>After lunch, we head off to the town&#8217;s craft market to buy souvenirs for our loved ones.<\/p>\n<h2>Refreshment and discovery in Banfora<\/h2>\n<p>After a hot shower and a good night&#8217;s sleep at Sego&#8217;s, it&#8217;s time for the Elitis Express bus to Bobo-Dioulasso. The company is truly impressive, and its nickname &#8220;airplane on the ground&#8221; rings true! Before boarding your bus, you have to leave your luggage, wait in the boarding area and once on the bus, you&#8217;re offered unlimited hot drinks, a meal and TVs broadcasting African sitcoms throughout the journey! A luxurious trip for the 5-hour journey between the two cities. Note that if you&#8217;d like to do it with a guide, it&#8217;s perfectly possible, and I&#8217;ve heard that some of the villages between Ouaga and Bobo are really worth a visit. For us, that&#8217;s for another time \ud83d\ude42     <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2452 size-full\" title=\"Banfora in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0132.jpg\" alt=\"Banfora in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0132.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0132-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0132-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2451 size-full\" title=\"Banfora in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0137.jpg\" alt=\"Banfora in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0137.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0137-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0137-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2453 size-full\" title=\"Child on the bus in Banfora, Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" src=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0136.jpg\" alt=\"Child on the bus in Banfora, Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038; Salopette\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0136.jpg 795w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0136-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jupetteetsalopette.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/burkina-faso-un-pays-qui-se-vit-plus-qu-il-ne-se-visite-0136-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In Africa, you have to expect a few adventures on the road: breakdowns, police checks, roads cut off due to roadworks or road problems.

They&#8217;re genuinely quite insistent, which is unpleasant, but once you&#8217;ve told them you&#8217;re not interested, they&#8217;ll leave you alone.  <\/p>\n<p>The next day, we set off to discover Banfora and the Sindou Peaks. We find a guide on the advice of a French shopkeeper, Cintia, who runs the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/macopineboutique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Ma copine<\/a>&#8221; boutique in Bobo. Moussa agrees to pick us up the next morning at our hotel for the excursion.  <\/p>\n<p>We start with <strong>the Sindou peaks<\/strong>, as they lie some 50 km west of Banfora (count 3,000 CFA francs for the visit for 2). The sandstone rocks of Sindou rise into the sky in long, wind-sculpted, twisted, tortured chimneys. Luckily, when we arrive at the site, we&#8217;re practically alone! We wander around the site in total freedom. In the past, the site served as a refuge for villagers from enemy incursions. More importantly, the site is also a sacred place for the initiation of young boys.     <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2456 size-full\" title=\"Sindou peaks in Burkina Faso | Jupette &#038;

The Karfiguela waterfalls, also known as the Banfora waterfalls, are just 20 minutes from the town center. The site is very popular with young people, who come to enjoy the coolness of the site and get &#8220;drunk&#8221; with music and alcohol. After paying 1,000 CFA francs per person and 300 CFA francs for parking, you can reach the site after a few minutes&#8217; walk and relax in the clear water. If, like me, you&#8217;re a young white girl, expect to be the attraction of the day and to have to take lots and lots of photos with the young boys! I personally felt like a &#8220;star&#8221;!
