It is, in fact, quite simple to find, made even easier by the fact that the main streets of town have been paved.
Coming into town from the port or the airport you will be on a paved road heading north that takes you to a round-point intersection called the “place d’independance.” Turn to the left (west) and follow the pavement around a sharp curve past the grand mosque and north again past the hotels Colombe, the lycée, the Maison d’Artisans and a cemetery. Go around the round-point and head straight north. You will enter a section of town made of regular blocks. You are on the Rue de la Paix, also known as Rue 421, keep straight until you come to a cross-road that is also paved, Rue 430, turn to the left (west) this is still Rue de la Paix though the number and direction have changed. Follow this street straight down until you come out facing a monument (flamme de la Paix). Turn right (north). Past the Flamme de la Paix and the Ecole (school) de la Paix on your left. Then past a small mosque on your right. Go two blocks further north, turn left. We are the last permanent structure to the north surrounded by huts of thatch and mats. There are sloar lamps on the rooftop so you can pick us out in the dark.
From the gare routière, head west past the petrol station and down Rue 112. You will come out on the main street facing the maison d’artisants turn North.
