Southern Mali - Mali

The country around Bamako and South of Ségou offers opportunities to visit surrounding villages affording a relaxing stay at a reservoir, hiking across dusty environments in addition to hiring a bike are among the many possibilities of your stay.

The rocky and hilly landscape of the Koulikoro area hold out of the ordinary places of ancient mysteries. During this outing, we take you to two of these places: The Squatting Camel and the Faramissiri  Caves.

When the village of Shô was formed, their forefathers found the squatted camel in place. A magic place, where many a vow was spoken, long before the tomb was discovered. 

The trip continues to the Faramissiri Caves, a site for the annual pilgrim’s journey to the mosque. The cave paintings display hoof prints and the sacred snake and offer a beautiful view over Koulikoro Ba and the rocky landscape.
