Mali is just one of those places that gets under your skin and leaves you with indescribably rich memories. From the chaotic capital of Bamako, to the fabled city of Timbuktu, you will find that everyday is in some way an indelible adventure.

Mali may be financially poor, but socially it is very rich – there are many different Malian peoples – Fulani, Bambara, Songhai, Tuareg to name but a few - all living peacefully side by side, and bonded by their rhythmical music and positive attitudes. We get to experience all this at the infamous Festival au Desert, the highlight of our journey.

This trip is definitely for the more adventurous – African travel is not always convenient and not always as planned – but very real, very different and very rewarding.
