African dust: your DSLR's sensor enemy
If you fancy DSLR cameras and you have several lenses that you wish to use while touring around Burkina, well there are bad news. At the time of our visit it was the dry season, meaning that all dirt roads (even inside the cities) were full of red african dust. By the end of the day a fine layer of red dust was covering most of our clothes and hair not to mention my camera!! Still I am not sure if the newer sensor cleaning systems can be effective. So be very careful when you change lenses or take a cleaning system with you (if you trust yourself doing it)
