Burkina Faso

When we went to Burkina Fasso we had to have a lot of things to get into the country. It was very interesting once we were there. We rented a car to look around the country. We stayed at a really fancy hotel in Ouagadougou, the capital city.

Our Guidebook: I you travel to Burkina Faso you must have a visa to enter the country. To visit any country in Africa you must have a number of vaccinations including the yellow fever vaccination. It is also advised to take malaria pills before and during your trip to Africa.

If you are visiting this part of Africa you should have simple clothing. The weather can be very hot. Here they speak many languages, including Mossi and French. The money is called the CFA franc.
