From Ouagadougou · Burkina Faso
Ouagadougou to Cotonou.
The same CFA franc, no visa, and the sea at the end of the trip: from Ouagadougou, Cotonou means the port, the beach and a big city for business, study or rest.
The journey
Air Burkina links Ouagadougou and Cotonou once or twice a week, with or without a stop in Lomé depending on the day; otherwise you connect through Abidjan or Lomé. By road, the route crosses areas that foreign ministries formally advise against: flying is the right choice.
The visa
African passports: no visa for Benin, for up to 90 days. Other nationalities apply for the electronic visa.
The money
The same CFA franc (XOF) as Burkina Faso: no exchange needed, the prices you read are the prices you pay. We accept Mobile Money, card and bank transfer.
Hotel or furnished home?
Business at the port, studies, a family stay: a furnished home costs less than a hotel from two people or three nights, and our monthly rates are built for long stays.
