🤑

Shopping and eating in Kaya is affordable, but as a visiting cat, you might find getting around expensive due to the lack of public transportation. Also, bargaining is common and can save you some coins.

Try buying souvenirs at the local market, and avoid using taxis unless it's necessary.

Mindful meoweler tips

Burkinabè culture is rich in music and dance

Burkinabè musicians and dancers are some of the most talented in Africa, and their music and dance take inspiration from the various ethnic groups that live in Burkina Faso.

The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso

The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso is a stunning example of West African Sudano-Sahelian architecture and allows access to non-Muslims to see the incredible attention to detail in its design.

Try the local dish, riz gras

Riz gras is a popular dish in Burkina Faso that consists of rice cooked in tomato sauce and served with meat and vegetables. It’s a delicious introduction to the local cuisine.
