One comfortable backpack should be more than enough; you don't need to bring much when you can wash your clothes and expect them to be dry well before morning.
Very light cotton clothing is great for Burkina. Burkinabe like to dress well - much better than most backpackers! - so some light cotton button-down shirts are often better than t-shirts. Better yet, bring a shirt you like, then go to the market, buy some cloth and get a tailor to use your shirt as a model to make some more!
Some travellers are casual about malaria protection, but if you are only going to be in Burkina for a few weeks, it seems silly to spend a week or so sick with a preventable disease. Speak to a doctor with some tropical medical experience before you leave: not all malaria medications are suitable for everyone. You must get a yellow fever vaccination to visit Burkina, but consider getting some additional vaccinations too with the advice of your doctor. Hepatitis vaccinations are a common preparation for travel in Africa, as well as boosters for polio and diphtheria. Leave a Comment

 refreshing to see but not to
swim by hydronetta
Light cotton clothes but evenings can be bitterly chilly so you need a warm jacket. You will be able if you don't move here and there every day, to wash your clothes. This can be done even by the hotel or guesthouse staff
If you travel in remote areas better have everything you need even toilet paper
Take good care of your DSLR due to dust (read my warning section)
Forget swimming. Due to bilharzia most rivers or lakes are potentially hazardous...
Good trekking shoes.
Your antimalarial pills, sunblock cream. Maybe mosquito nets if not provided by guesthouse/hotel
