Mali is without doubt the jewel of West Africa, home to a wide range of vibrant cultures, customs, music, historic empires and ancient civilisations. Our 14 day adventure will allow you to experience the wonders of its historic towns and cities and the warm spirit of its fascinating and varied people. We trek into the remote and timeless Dogon areas and journey by private boat along the mighty Niger River to the enigmatic town of Timbuctoo. Summary (Sample) This is only an outline showing what is possible. A detailed itinerary will always be supplied after the necessary e-mail correspondence to establish the Guest's preferences. Day 1 Bamako. Mali's capital is alive to the sound of music, motorbikes and people trading their wares, left, right and centre. Day 2 Djenne. An early breakfast prepares us for a journey through Dogon country. Stop off at the towns of Segou and San before arriving in the lively market town Djenne. Day 3-5 Dogon Trek. After a visit to the local market, we make our way to the Bandiagara Escarpment. Hike through villages and get a taste of traditional life through village visits. Stop by Nombori, known for it gardens between the village and the sand dunes, see the masks of Tirelli and continue on to Amani for a visit to the sacred crocodile pool. Day 6 Mopti. After a final hike between cliffs and narrow corridors, swap boots for bus and travel to the historic port town of Mopti. Take the opportunity to enjoy a guided tour, go solo and explore the bustling markets or soak up the serenity of the mosque. Day 7-9 Niger River Cruise. Follow the flow of the mighty Niger River, stopping off to visit villages along the way. Life in Mali centres around the rivers and there is a lot of activity to see: passing fishermen, boats of colourfully dressed people, women washing clothes, children playing and cattle drinking. At night, camp on the banks of the river and enjoy the rural tranquillity. Day 10-11 Timbuktu. Explore the Old Town of Timbuktu with its mosque, the market and the craft centre.
