Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso sits at the heart of West Africa, a landlocked plateau country where the harmattan wind carries red dust across savanna grasslands and baobab-dotted plains. Life here revolves around market towns, mosques, and the rhythms of subsistence farming; it is one of the region's most culturally dense yet little-visited nations.
About Burkina Faso
Overview
Burkina Faso borders six countries — Mali, Niger, Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire — and has no coastline. The capital, Ouagadougou, is the political and commercial centre. French is the official language, though dozens of local languages including Mooré and Dioula are widely spoken. The currency is the West African CFA franc, shared across much of the region.
