An ancient troglodyte village located at the top of a small cliff overlooking the African bush, with huts...

This ancient cave village perched atop a small cliff is a real wonder for the brave. It is compulsory to be accompanied by a village guide. The climb is quite difficult (especially when it is 40 ° C). Once at the top, the view on the African bush is worth a sweat. One can then visit the remains of the small village, which was the refuge of the ethnic group Ouara threatened by the Sénoufo (the name of Ouara, or Wara, which means "wild beast", date only from colonial times. The real name of the ethnicity would be Sama or "elephant"). It has been abandoned since the early 1980 s, but some boxes are still subject to annual restorations (e. g. the box of féticheur). This cave village consists mainly of tiny boxes of tents as well as greniers-backed barns against the wall of the cliff.

This site deserves a classification world heritage site by UNESCO. History and is located in a magnificent setting, the arrival in the village itself is breathtaking. Without doubt the most beautiful and historic site of the country authentic!
The village is named NIANSOGONI, which means the village at the entrance of the cliffs.

The village has a camp 10 huts with bed and mosquito net. Two showers and two facilities. They can be served meals of very good. Visit the troglodyte village TO you must be accompanied by a guide of the village (ask Adrien, Richard or Perfect). That with the aim of heritage protection. The track that leads you to Niansogoni Banfora is not too bad condition. On arrival at Niansogoni you can find cold drinks at the camping and do some shopping in the small handcraft shop.
