Sleeping
Staying with locals
Not very common, only big cities offer CS hosts.
(Formal) camping
A great way of meeting locals and sleeping in your own comfortable bed. Ask anyone in a village and they will search a spot for you.
Ho(s)tels
Most cities have accommodation. Room with fan should be around 10.000 CFA, with AC a bit more. Expect bucket showers.
Wild camping
Possible, but there are lots of people everywhere, so consider asking permission first.
