Bobo-Dioulasso
With a population of more than half a million, Bobo-Dioulasso is the second largest city in Burkina Faso. Somebody once said that “Bobos,” or those Burkinabe who have spent a significant amount of time in Bobo, and have adopted some of the “Bobolaise” mannerisms – are the most hospitable Burkinabe, and perhaps one of the most hospitable groups of people, in the world.| Map | Satellite | Directions |
