The earlier you book, the better. You're more likely to score a cheaper rate on a Ouagadougou hotel and have more choice when you plan ahead.
However, it's still possible to get last-minute deals. Although prices tend to rise closer to your stay, some places cut rates a day or two before to avoid having empty rooms, especially when it's quiet.
Stay flexible with your dates, land better rates. Search for hotels across different seasons or months. Even booking on weekdays (instead of weekends) can work out cheaper.
Avoid surprise fees later on by searching for stays that have free cancellation. If your plans fall through or a better offer shows up, you can cancel your booking without penalty.
