Flying to Africa's Most DANGEROUS Country: AIR BURKINA Chris: As a kid who grew up in a travel agency family (we owned a small agency that my Mom ran, managed, everything) I got pretty good at using the ancient TWA PARS-II computer system circa 1980 to look up all manner of flights around the world and one of my favorite destinations was ALWAYS Ouagadougou in what was then Upper Volta, both very intriguing names to a kid and of course being in the middle of Africa was always fascinating. I love that your whole trip was pretty easy and yes, all the airport and Air Burkina staff seemed to be so kind and accommodating. It would be great if you could have stayed a couple night and did a bit of a walk around. but that might have been dicey considering Burkina is suppose to be so dangerous. At any rate, good job and way to act as a good sales agent for Burkina Faso travel! Just one last thing, your trip from Tunisia to Jeddah was way worse, bad everything, terrible customer service, terrible Saudi Arabian Airlines and general disorganization on what should have been a much more simple, civilized trip and here you are in Burkina Faso and everything worked as it should with no trouble.

Hi Noel. On your next trip to Africa, please consider flying to Zambia. There is a pretty cool airline called Proflight Zambia. They fly mostly domestic but they also flya to Johannesburg South Africa and have just launched a new service to Cape Town. They fly a fleet of Jetstream 41, CRJ 100/200 and a Boeing 737-500. Zambia also has very cool places you can visit like Livingstone where you can see the Victoria falls. The people are also very friendly and you will definitely feel the love.

I sensed your anxiety flying into the most dangerous country in Africa. But I shared your jubilation when you went through the hoops
on arrival, and finally relaxed at your accommodation. I really love cool names of places, and of course Africa has a plethora of them.
Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, Addis Abeba, Zanzibar and many more. Well done Noel.

Please answer Noel. What on earth do you do about travel insurance when you are going to countries where the FO advise against all but essential travel? I am dreading telling our annual insurers about a couple of minor illnesses and there you are jaunting around in dangerous parts of the world. We are only going to Canaries next!

I have family in Burkina Faso and because of the safety problems it's been a long time since I haven't seen them. I kind of feel good to see the airport once again and just for that a huge thanks
However if anyone wants to fly Air Burkina, beware cause you might get any checked bags loaded in the next flight.

Concerning the boarding of passengers on international flights. in most cases the airline makes 100% SURE that you have the proper documentation to enter the country or. ''YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BOARD THE FLIGHT. because the airline would be responsible for putting on a return if being deported etc.

Another ignorant filmmaker labeling a country as dangerous without even experiencing some time there. Westerners are very ignorant of Africa, but very clever in stealing its resources and creating war and then portraying the continent as dangerous! Very hypocritical!

Spent many years in Burkina Faso. Not too safe right now. I love the land and the people. One day in Ouagadougou is not what I would call adventurist, try spending a week in the North dodging ALCAIDA mercenaries, now you can say you have been to Burkina Faso.

You went to my country! I love it there i feel more safe in Burkina than i do in USA. I cant wait to go back home and visit my family. You made me smile thank you so much for visiting. We welcome you again.

It was France, America, Canada and the western world that killed the country that was good under the leadership of Thomas Sankara from 1983 to 1987, and made Burkina Faso beggarly by killing Thomas Sankara.

Dakar, where you call to book a transport as function altered living in Gothenburg Sweden. Ouagadougou used to have rather big international film festival, the biggest in Africa.

Since when is BF one of the most dangerous countries in Africa? It's certainly one of the least dangerous countries in West Africa. The biggest risk is dying of boredom.

I was reminded of Baldric in Black Adder 4 when you said we can't fly over Mali as there is sort of a war. Classic brit. Have to say that hotel looks really nice.

This fellow always complains about each and everything. He should stop traveling to other countries and stick his bum in his own country and harvest potatoes and cabbages.
reply

that was quite a pleasant journey, wasn't it? loved it! ; I personally find the African francophone people the friendliest; what a good choice of country Noel
reply

Hi Noel,
Thank you for visiting my country Burkina Faso and for your kind words about Air Burkina. You are very kind and funny. I like your style.

reply

Ah the same old script/ narrative being peddled by the Westerners - badmouthing any and everything African. Such videos should be taken down.
reply

Imagine someone waiting urgently to use the loo and they are just hearing you talk to yourself about how nice the loo is etc. Just great: .
reply

In Africa, visa, permit, license, etc just is a means of extracting money. No goat, cow donkey etc on the runway, what a bonus
reply

Wow that is a pretty cool out of the way place most people wouldn't go. I was curious what the visa cost you on arrival USD?
