visit the Lobi and other tribe villages in the Gaoua region contacts with local people; very few tourists visit B.F., even less the Lobi region. People are very friendly. Our minibus broke down in an area where they hardly see any foreingers. We had to wait for hours and this allowed us to meet people walking to their fields. Some were quite hesitant to make contact. But once salutations were exchanged, hands were shaken, all you could see were smiling faces. Theirs, and ours.
