Burkina Faso Airport Transfer Guide - All Options & Prices

# Airport Transfer Options in Burkina Faso Based on currently available data, formal public transportation options for airport transfers in Burkina Faso are limited. Information not available for verified train, bus, or organized taxi services at this time. Travelers should be prepared to arrange private transportation or verify current options directly at the airport upon arrival. For the most up-to-date transfer solutions and current pricing, we recommend checking with your accommodation provider in advance or using the booking widgets on this page to explore available ground transportation options. Local arrangements may be available that aren't captured in international booking systems, so contacting hotels or local travel services directly can provide additional alternatives for getting to and from Burkina Faso's airports.

Carry small denomination CFA francs as many taxi drivers may not have change for large bills

Negotiate taxi fares before starting your journey as most taxis don't use meters

Shared taxis (taxi-brousse) depart when full rather than on fixed schedules, so allow extra time

Keep your hotel or destination address written in French to show drivers if there's a language barrier

Unofficial 'Helpers' and Porters: At Ouagadougou Airport, travelers may encounter individuals offering unsolicited help with luggage or directions, then demanding excessive payment. To avoid: Politely decline assistance from unofficial porters, use only clearly identified airport staff, and agree on any fees before accepting help.

Unlicensed Taxi Overcharging: Unofficial taxi drivers may approach passengers inside the terminal or just outside, quoting inflated fares without meters. To avoid: Use official taxi stands located outside the arrivals area, agree on the fare before departing, or arrange airport transfers through your hotel in advance. Check current rates in booking widgets for reference.

Currency Exchange Scams: Unofficial money changers may offer 'better rates' but use sleight of hand, provide counterfeit bills, or shortchange travelers during the exchange. To avoid: Only exchange money at official airport exchange counters or ATMs within the terminal, even if rates seem less favorable. Count all money carefully before leaving the counter.
