Visitors are welcomed by the friendly Burkinabè people — and those who come quickly discover the real story of Burkina Faso, far beyond what foreign media often portray.
From Singapore to South Africa, The Gambia to Australia, travelers share one truth: Burkina Faso is a country of warmth, resilience, and pride.
✨ “I visited in July 2025. The people were very friendly. I felt safe walking through the city, even in the Grand Market. I will return again.” — Visitor from Singapore
✨ “I love the people of Burkina Faso. The mainstream media are unhappy because they’ve lost control. Thank God for Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who rescued the country from colonisers, especially France. God bless the AES.” — Visitor from The Gambia 🇬🇲
✨ “I’ve lived and worked here for five years, traveling everywhere. Never had a problem. One of the best places to visit.” — Australian resident
✨ “At first I was afraid, but after one day I was impressed by the kindness of the people. I saw new infrastructure being built, and I felt the love Burkinabè have for their country, for Thomas Sankara, and for President Ibrahim Traoré. My hotel was excellent, and I loved the flambé chicken and fresh fruits.” — Visitor from South Africa 🇿🇦
And from the Burkinabè themselves: ✨ “We are proud of our country. Foreign media try to spoil our name, but we have a visionary leader opening the minds of young people. Our focus is on development and integrity. Enemies are jealous, but we pray for our leader and our citizens. We hope to see you all here in Burkina Faso.” — Burkinabè citizen 🇧🇫
Burkina Faso is not the caricature painted by Western headlines. It is a nation that refuses exploitation, a people who embrace visitors with open arms, and a leadership that inspires pride and sovereignty.
Here, you’ll find safety in the streets, kindness in every smile, music in the air, and a spirit of resilience that cannot be silenced.
Burkina Faso is building, growing, and welcoming the world. And those who visit leave with one thought:
Imagine how great the world would be if every country had a leader like Burkina Faso.
