Mali

Mali is an incredible country that in many ways exemplifies West Africa – its colours, its intriguing history and its diverse ethnic mix. We are proud to offer small group tours and tailor made holidays that not only take in the highlights but step beyond these often well trodden sites to explore lesser visited regions with complex tribal customs and little known heritage that display an equally fascinating aspect of this West African jewel. Step back in time to visit isolated villages with their mask dances, griots and fetish priests, immersing yourself in an Africa that many don’t know exists. Feel like a true explorer and journey through regions which see few western travellers. And of course visit some of Mali’s most spectacular attractions, from the mythical city of Timbuktu to the mysterious land of the Dogon. Mali is a country that deserves your attention and compels you to uncover its many charms.
