Grab your bags, stroll out of arrivals at Ouagadougou Airport (OUA), and collect your rental car. Which one you drive off in depends on where you’re headed. If you’ll be spending the majority of the time driving in downtown Ouagadougou, around 2 miles from the terminal, go for something zippy and small. A compact car that’s easy to operate will be ideal for those busy streets. But with a wealth of things to see, like the picturesque savannahs of the surrounding region, you may want to make a few pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips a joy.
