About these names

Addresses rarely rely on house numbers: give your driver a district and a landmark (a mosque, a hotel, a roundabout).

A first visit covers four clusters strung along one road: Kaloum (museum, old centre) and Boulbinet port at the tip, Camayenne with the corniche and the Grand Mosque, and Madina market inland. Everything beyond — Ratoma, Kipé, Lambanyi, the airport at Gbessia — is a long drive.
