Ouaga's traffic circle - Ouagadougou

Ouaga's traffic circle

Pronounced Wa-ga-doo-goo

Thankfully called Ouaga(wa-ga) for short, this city is surprisingly modern. Although not packed with must do activities, there is plenty of good food and crafts shopping. The streets are quite manageable on foot, traffic isn't too bad, and crime is low.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Good restaurants, pleasant walking, fairly safe
Cons:Dusty, cabbies try to rip you off
In a nutshell:Good place to spend a couple of days
