This West African wonder is a hub for the region’s culture and music. Its diversity is summed up by the fact that there are over 60 ethnic groups – with just as many languages – found in all corners of the country. Throughout the year, there are hip hop, jazz, cinema and masked dancing festivals. Most of these, including the biannual International Arts and Crafts Fair, are held in the capital of Ouagadougou (also known as Ouago – pronounced ‘Wa-Gha’) and Bobo-Dioulasso in the southwest. Festivals aside, the music scene is ever present, with live reggae, salsa and traditional orchestras playing in lots of different local venues. The green heart of the country can be found in and around Banfora, home to majestic waterfalls and lakes for hippo spotting. The nearby Sindou Peaks’ are worth a visit to see the peculiar rock formations which have been shaped over millions of years. Most accommodation comes in the form of hotels in the two main cities of Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, with a small amount scattered on the outskirts.
Very pleased with this guesthouse and especially the staff, who gladly assisted me on numerous occasions. The room had everything I needed, an air conditioner, mini fridge, mosquito nets on the windows, nice bed and enough storage space for my stuff. The bathroom was nice, with hot water and a shower. The guesthouse also has comfortable seating area and a nice garden. Breakfast is scrambled eggs/omelette, toast with butter and jam and a drink of your choice. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable.
The rooms are clean but fairly basic. I didn't get hot water but maybe that was just me not being able to work it out! The best thing is the nice garden with bar and restaurant. A little oasis in the hubbub of the city. The location seems good.. I was only in Ouaga for a day so didn't do much looking around. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The property was an excellent stay -- the staff were quite accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met. The room was always cleaned to perfection which was always a plus when returning from a long day. The quite location created a serene and peaceful stay.
The rooms were perfect. Fully stocked fridge, comfortable beds, great water pressure with HOT water! The food was exceptional. Staff was great even met the owner who was very accommodating and friendly. 10/10 recommend for your stay in Ouaga.
