Kénédougou
7.9
High score (8-10)
Rural province with actual farming wealth and family-connected merchants who move goods to Mali—real money exists here, just underground. Less tourist saturation than Bobo means you move with more novelty, and women here see fewer foreigners, period.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
You need French or local language—English basically doesn't exist. Transportation is minibus only, no ride services, checkpoints happen. It's the real Burkina, not the expat version.
Lower score (below 6)
Infrastructure drops off hard—electricity is intermittent, internet is frustrating, healthcare means a long drive. This is subsistence-farming country with serious security concerns on the Mali border. You're betting on novelty alone.
