Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

πŸ’‘

Book 2-3 months in advance during FESPACO (biennial, late February odd years) and SIAO (biennial, late October even years) when hotel prices surge 50-100% and availability drops sharply

πŸ’‘

Request ground floor or low floor rooms for faster evacuation access given security considerations in Burkina Faso

Confirm the hotel has a generator β€” power cuts are frequent in Ouagadougou and a generator is essential for AC and refrigeration
