Budget Guide to Burkina Faso |
| It's like a tapestry of African life here, the landscapes, the cultures, the different ethnicities of the people plus the art, the music and the food. Everything is a wonderful mix and the locals are lovin' it. |
Budget Accommodation in Burkina FasoIt's possible to find a bed for around US$8, this will probably give you a room complete with mosi net but you'll have to share the bathroom. There are a few campsites in the country as well, expect to pay around $3 for a site. A Traveller's Budget for Burkina FasoLocal transport is by bus, there are express buses which leave promptly when scheduled and the standard buses which wait until full before departing. In the outlying areas where the larger buses don't go there are minibuses and bush taxis to get you towhere you want to go. Again these wait until they are full before they leave. They're a little more expensive then the bus. The staple food here is a millet based pate, other regulars are rice with sauce and a kind of barbequed kebab served in a bun with onions and sauce. Breakfast is usually bread and yoghurt. Most of these things are readily available at street stalls and markets so eating cheaply should be easy.
