Located in the south of the Sahara, Mali is crossed by the mighty Niger, which is the third longest river in Africa. Its function as a transportation channel for basic goods guarantees the survival of the Bambara, Peul, Bozo and Songhai<\/em><\/strong> peoples; and the names of Mopti, Timbuktu and Djenne<\/strong> evoke empires of opulence, when trans-Saharan caravans turned them into cultural and financial centers. On the other hand, the Dogon<\/strong>, installed in Bandiagara as if it were a fortress, are a genuine example of how to survive thanks to the faith in the magic of their own life.<\/p>\n

What has remained in my memory of this magnificent trip? The 80 km walk along the Bandiagara fault<\/strong> to live with the Dogon ethnic group<\/strong> where I slept on the roofs of their houses because of the heat; the color of the markets in which you saw the elegance of the Malian women, always well combined with the clothes, to highlight the Djenne market<\/strong>; the Sudanese architecture <\/strong>of the unique mud mosques in Africa; the tour in “pinasse” along the Niger River <\/strong>to see all the villages on the riverbank.<\/p>\n

One of the most attractive destinations in Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n
