Die Lonely Planet Internetseiten schreiben über Bobo Dioulasso und über (die Umgebung von) Banfora:
Bobo-Dioulasso, home to the Bobo people, is another laid-back, friendly city. It's even smaller and easier to negotiate than Ouagadougou but has the same airy boulevards, tree-lined streets and thriving market places.
The Musée Provincial du Houët, housed in a Sudanese-style building, has two sets of exhibitions; one showcasing modern African art, batik, and sculpture, and the other exhibiting traditional art of the region. For a touch of French class, check out the Centre Culturel Français Henri Matisse. It's got shady trees, magazines, and comfy chairs; everything you need for a time-out from travelling. The most impressive of Bobo's buildings is the Grande Mosquée. It's built out of mud in traditional Sudanese style, and for an exhorbitant price the caretaker will take you on a guided tour; less if you just want to see the inside which is the most interesting section anyway. The old Kibidwé district is full of artisans artisaning (mostly potters and blacksmiths) and is well worth exploring.
Banfora
Downtown Banfora is a bustling hive of inactivity - two main streets with a petrol station, a bank and two dogs deciding which tree to sleep under. But the surrounding countryside is some of the best in Burkina Faso, and it's a great jumping off point for any number of hiking and biking possibilities. Karfiguéla waterfalls are interesting year-round, but really hit their straps in the rainy season. After the unrelenting dryness of much of the rest of Burkina Faso, the waterfalls are a welcome change. There is a bit of a bilharzia problem, so swimming in the pools below the waterfalls can be risky, and you'll need to bring your own water during the dry season because the water gets too dirty to drink. The Dômes de Karfiguéla, an escarpment-type formation, not far from the waterfall, is good hiking grounds. Ten kilometres beyond the waterfalls is Lake Tengréla, a pleasant spot to stop and stretch your legs. The fishermen from the nearby village will be more than willing to take you out in their pirogues, for a couple of dollars (and some hard-nosed bargaining), to get a closer look at the bird life. A little further on from the lake are the seriously weird Sindou rock formations. They're like playdough sculptures - towering, tipsy, and stuck to the floor with lopsided ingenuity.
