Burkina Faso: a country with exceptional tourism potential

Burkina Faso is a country in West Africa. It straddles the Sahelian and Sudanese zones. This gives the north and centre of the country an arid, steppe-like climate. In contrast, the south is dominated by a tropical climate and savannah. This results in exceptional landscape diversity. The country is home to more than a dozen ethnic groups, each with their own unique culture. This article attempts to showcase the unique landscapes and cultures of Burkina Faso's peoples. However, tourism has recently been affected by terrorist attacks, particularly in the north and east of the country.
