We arrived at the border post knowing that they would ask for a lot of money to enter Burkina Faso. More, we knew that and we wanted to bargain! Our first expectation was right: a lot of money! He was asking 47,000 CFA per person. However, the second was not: no bargain was possible. Our only option was to get a transit visa, valid for 3 days and costing 24,000 CFA.
A French guy had arrived meanwhile and told us: “Guys, today is the 10th and the exit will be due on the 13th. Well, a 10 is easy to change to a 16 and 13 to a 18. Just a thought!” We were surprised with the hint and kept thinking about that. At the end, we decided to leave on time, without changing the number and without a lot of stories to tell from Burkina Faso.
However, we think it would have been possible. Like the French guy, “just a thought”!
