L'Escale: The Food Doesn't Justify the Price
lemondrop Says: I went to this place not realizing just how elegant it is. It's in a beautiful setting around a picturesque pool. It's all very nice, but the food is disappointing for the most part. The fish was pretty lame and unfortunately deep fried....and was served with unexciting...
Les Bambous: Live Music in Bobo
lemondrop Says: Les Bambous is an open air place that has live performances most nights. The place is VERY dark, so much so that you might not be able to see what you are eating or drinking! There is a nice atmosphere here, only marred by the creepy guys who hang around preying on female...
Les Bambous: Great Outdoor Bar and Traditional Live Music
atufft Says: Les Bambous is a good place to listen to traditional music on any given night while sipping a drink. It's outdoors, so during the rainy season, the situation is variable, and obviously on the weekend, the bands are generally better. Locals will come and contribute to the...
lemondrop Says: Taxis seem to be so numerous at times in Bobo...then when you really need one, they're nowhere to be found. These guys are pretty honest from my experience, although some aren't very knowledgeable about certain places.
lemondrop Says: From Bobo, you might be headed by bus to Banfora, which is a short 1.5 hrs/1000CFA($2), or to Ouagadagou, a 5 hr trip at around 5000CFA($10). Buses vary in size, comfort, and price. In general, sevice and comfort beats the hell out of neighboring Ghana's jacked up transport...
Grand Marche Tailors Corner: Custom Tailored Clothing in Bobo
atufft Says: Ready fit men's and women's clothing are a big part of the Grand Marche, but one can also select the fabric and have a custom tailored shirt done within a few hours. Belinda wanted a dress tailored, so our guide introduced us to a local tailor in a shop a couple blocks away...
atufft Says: I was nervous to try them, but once I did, I was sold. Africans love to eat what California farmers would spray with pesticides. The French fried catapillers are salty, having the crunch of a good snack, like pretzels or popcorn. Don't be afraid! Try them, you'll like them....
A Couple Outside Bobo Dioulasso
atufft Says: We passed the grounds of the new Burkina Faso University, which was still constructing roads and stringing power cables. Nearby we stopped to visit farmer buildings of a style I hadn't seen before. A middle aged couple lived and worked there. The man described how his father...
A Family Outside Bobo Dioulasso Invites Us In
atufft Says: At my urging, Mamoudou pulled the scooter off the trail to where we could stop and talk to a family. Several sisters were there doing errands. Their grandmother sat and pounded meal with a rock. Eventually, a mother and brother and many cousins came, and I took portraits of...
johnbradshawlayfield Says: Football is very poular in the world and in Burkina too, people are crazy behind the sport. Stade Minicipal de Bobo Dioulasso is the only football stadium in the city.
canuckmike Says: Well walking around the Kibidwe District I saw this thing and was wondering what it is. What I was told that it is for Voodoo beliefs (and if I remember correctly, it had to do with fertility. I was kinda surprised that Voodoo made it's way all the way up here.

A very pleasant city in Burkina Faso
Much of Burkina Faso is quite like a desert with little coverage and a lot of heat. However, Bobo is well located as a crossroads in the southwest and has a rather pleasant semi-tropical climate. The...

Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso has the best names)
Well Bobo-Dioulasso is the only place I really saw in Burkina Faso as I skirted the westren edge of the country. Although not the most spectacular West African city, I found it to be one of the most...

Bobo-A Pleasant Place to Spend Some Time
Bobo Dioulasso is a nice city to kick back and relax for a few days. People are friendly, the market is surprisingly manageable, and the old town makes for a pretty fascinating visit.

Bobo is a calm city. I visited during the Ramadan season and it was quite present everywhere. Bobo es una ciudad tranquila. La visité durante el Ramadan, aquí es donde esto más se apreciaba.
