Mali, previously a French colony, is one of the most culturally rich and diverse countries in Africa. The first edition of this guide was one of Bradt’s best-sellers, enjoying its advantage of being the only English guide to Mali on the market. The diversity of Mali’s culture is demonstrated in the chapters on the extraordinary cliff villages of the Dogon people, along with the Sahara region – home to the nomadic Tuareg people, and Bamako – one of West Africa’s more relaxed capital cities. Lesser-known attractions are also explored and updated, such as the elephant herd migrations to the Gourma region of central Mali and rock climbing in the Hombori mountains.
