Djibo Getting There & Away

Getting There & Away

From Ouaga, you can go almost directly north through Kongoussi, which is shorter but unpaved the whole way (STAF), or go through Ouahigouya (Ouaga-OHG is paved, but OHG-Djibo is not) and change busses there (STMB, SOGEBAF). 4000 CFA one way; 7000 CFA round trip. STMB: daily 7:00, 14:30 to OHG, 11:00, 17:30 from OHG. Be sure to ask about their Carte de Fidelité (sort of like frequent flyer programs), which can be obtained in Ouaga or Ouahigouya. STAF: daily 7:00 (to and from Ouaga) SOGEBAF: daily 6:30, 13:30 to OHG, 10:00, 17:00 from OHG. There is a third bus to OHG on Wednesdays that leaves at 17:00. They are consistently very late and undependable.
