How about a trip to Burkina Faso South
A Brief Summary
The southwest of Burkina Faso, home to the second largest city in the country, Bobo-Dioulasso, is a more fertile, verdant area than the desert north, however, the dry season here can stretch to multiple months of the year, meaning crop growth and harvesting can only sometimes occur in small windows. It is the more populated region of the country, but transport links away from the main towns remain very sketchy and unpredictable, especially in the rainy season
