Bakara is the capital of the Lobaye prefecture in the southwestern part of the Central African Republic, situated along a tributary of the Oubangui River, about 300 kilometers from the capital, Bangui. A regional economic hub, the city has agriculture (cotton, cassava) and diamond mining as its main industries, and is surrounded by rich mineral resources.
Located in a savannah climate zone, Bakara is surrounded by savannah and primary forests with diverse wildlife. The city retains remnants of French colonial architecture, and its predominantly Bantu population retains a culture of traditional song, dance and handicrafts.
Bakara is connected to Bangui by road and has a small airport. The city has developed slowly in recent years due to the political situation in Central Africa, but remains an important distribution center for goods and education in the southwest, with vocational and technical schools and medical facilities.
