Member Since 2006Mali: Sahel Journey
Excursion in Bamako
Languages: English
The “Mali Sahel Journey” program is a perpetual favorite: Early in the trip we spend a couple days getting a lift down the Niger River on a working riverboat on the Niger River. It is a fascinating and unique experience that you will remember for a lifetime.
The bicycling is in a historic triangle bounded by Mopti, Djenne and Bankas. We travel village to village sharing roads and tracks with and learning about the Bambara, Dogon, Peule, Songhai, Bobo, Bozo and people of other ethnic groups.
Traditionally, each group had a distinctive role in economic life. The architecture, lifestyle, and human activity are all incredible “eye-candy” to look at. Making our way through this largely non-motorized society by our own non-motorized transport is a moving experience. There is no better way to immerse yourself in the heart of Africa.
There is an optional extension to visit the historic city of Timbuktu.
