    Warning
    There has been severe flooding in the provinces of Kouritenga, Oubritenga, Kadiogo, Houet, Zandoma, Yatenga, Passoré, Loroum, Bam, Namentenga, Sanmatenga and Zoundwego. The flooding is likely to have affected local road conditions and may increase the threat of waterborne diseases. If you intend to travel to the affected areas, seek and follow advice from the local authorities.

    Most visits to Burkina Faso are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

    Travelers should carry some form of identification with them at all times.

    This advice is based on information provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK. It is correct at time of publishing. As the situation can change rapidly, visitors are advised to contact the following organizations for the latest travel advice:
