Natural attractions in Burkina Faso

Banfora

Banfora is a sleepy and picturesque in the west of Burkina Faso which comes alive on Sundays when its market attracts traders from as far away as Mali and the Ivory Coast. The surrounding region contains numerous natural attractions. These include Karfiguela Waterfalls, Lake Tengréla - home to hippos and a wide variety of bird life and the Fabedougou ‘Domes’, giant, egg-shaped rocks that date back two billion years.
