ADAMA SAWADOGO (GUIDE TOURISTIQUE)

This professional guide, recognized by the ONTB (Office national du tourisme burkinabé) and founding president of the Association des Guides de Tourisme du Sanmantenga (AGTS), is an advocate for solidarity, responsibility and fair tourism. As a Burkina Faso specialist, he offers tours in the Sahel (obviously more feasible in 2019 given the critical security situation in the Sahel) but also in all regions of Burkina Faso as well as in Benin, Ghana and Togo. Recommended by several readers, he regularly works with Burkinabe and European agencies. He was named Best Tourism Guide in the North Central Region in 2015-2016 (Trésors du Faso). It is also possible to ask him for tailor-made tours; if he is not available, he will be able to give you a serious guide to his association, the AGTS. It offers the rental of motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles, as well as 4x4s and minibuses. In addition, part of the income from tourism supports the education of orphans and street children. New! As part of these activities, AGTS offers stays in a Peuhl village near Kaya. Ask Adama about the areas where tourism is still possible.
