Worth knowing about Ouagadougou
- The airport is about 1.5 km southeast of the main commercial area, close enough that the city has grown around it. That crowding is why a replacement is being built at Donsin, roughly 35 km northeast.
- Ouagadougou handles about 98 per cent of Burkina Faso's scheduled commercial air traffic, with Air Burkina based here.
- Do not count on a visa at the counter. Burkina Faso now issues visas on arrival only in exceptional cases, and its eVisa portal opened on 17 August 2023 for applications made before travel.
