Discover Burkina Faso – 9 Days

After breakfast, you will drive to Tiebele an authentic Kassena village Architecturally specific houses with wall paintings are typical for Kassena people who belong to the greater Gurunsi ethnic group, living in northern Ghana and southern Burkina Faso. Wall decorating or painting is an ancient practice, but is, unfortunately, nowadays rapidly disappearing. In fact, there are only a few families left in the village that still have their buildings freshly renovated – as I interpreted, mostly for the purposes of tourism, at least.  In the afternoon, drive back to Ouagadougou overnight at Hotel Bravia.
