Basics

Cultural atmosphere and local geography

100km northeast of Ouaga. The population is mostly Mossi, so Moore is the primary language.

How to get there and away

• OA: 1500cfa one-way, a car leaves every hour from 6:30 until 20:00, goes to centre-ville.
• Sogebaf stops on the paved road (on the way to Dori/Gorom-Gorom) and bush taxis can be found along the Kaya-Ouaga route.

Places to stay

• Hotel Zinoogo: 4000 CFA (PCV rate) for a double bed with fan and wc down the hall. A/C rooms with double bed are 15000-20000. Secteur 4, near the PC training site.
• Hotel Kaziende: for when your parents are in town: A/C and expensive, behind the marche.

Post Office

Located at the top of a hill, past the round point, past the CHR (hospital) and Musée de Kaya. Hours: Monday – Friday: 7:30-12:30, 15:00-16:30. Taking money out is slow (30 minutes to one hour) so be prepared to wait

Internet

Across the street from Zam’s next to the Total station: starts after 17:00, prices approx. 1200 CFA/hour and the connection is ok (not wicked fast)

Shopping

Marché

In centre-ville, in front of the round point (with the white horse). Depending on the season you can get practically all fruits, veggies, and house supplies (buckets, mattresses, etc.).

Boutiques

Zam’s Alimentation: in front of the Total station on the main road; can get tuna, toilet paper, variety of cookies, alcohol, notebooks, etc.

Tailors

Various: in front of the marché, next to the marché, across from the bar L’Amitié. Prices (approximate): 1500 CFA for a skirt, 1000 CFA for a man’s shirt, 3000 CFA for a complet.

Food

Restaurants

• La Liberté (best food at lunch)
• L’escale
• Trois Luttes
• Zinoogo – service takes forever so come prepared to wait (you can watch MTV and Eurosport TV)
• Hotel Auberge (secteur 6) - nice views of the barrage – go to eat lunch.

(prices, locations?)

Street food and snacks

Everywhere – pretty good brochettes across the street from the marché and outside of La Liberté

Recreation

Bars

• La Liberté
• L’Amitié
• L’escale
• Payote
• Nicole’s Dad’s Bar (by the cinema)

(Locations, descriptions?)

Recreational activities

• Regional football games at Le Stade
• Cinema (secteur 1)
• Swimming pool at Hotel Zinoogo, if you don't mind not being able to see the bottom.

Tourism

Kaya is the leather capital of Burkina, though San Francisco is a better bet if you're looking for whips, chaps and slings: check out the artisans market right at the front of the grand marché (near the round point).
