Mali
Africa
Mali is home to some of Africa's greatest historic treasures — the legendary city of Timbuktu, the cliff-dwelling Dogon people, and the ancient mud-brick mosque of Djenné. Once a centre of Islamic scholarship and trans-Saharan trade, Mali's cultural depth is extraordinary. The Niger River, Saharan landscapes, and incredible traditional music make it one of West Africa's most captivating destinations.
