Mali is a landlocked country located in West Africa. It is bordered by Algeria to the north, Niger to the east, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast to the south, and Guinea to the west. Despite its small size (just over 1.2 million square kilometres), Mali is home to a diverse array of landscapes and cultures that make it well worth a visit.

From the sand dunes of the Sahara desert in the north to the lush green valleys of the Niger River in the south, Mali has something for everyone. The country's many national parks offer up stunning scenery and an abundance of wildlife, while its vibrant cities are full of culture and history. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach holiday or an action-packed adventure, Mali has something to offer you.

Here are some of the best places to visit in Mali:

The ancient city of Timbuktu is a must-see for history buffs. Once a major centre of Islamic culture and learning, Timbuktu is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers visitors an insight into centuries-old architecture and traditions.

The Djenné-Djenno archaeological site is another UNESCO World Heritage Site worth visiting. This ancient settlement was once one of the most important cities in West Africa and is home to some fascinating examples of African architecture.

If you're looking for some natural beauty, make sure to visit the Bandiagara Escarpment. This dramatic ridge of sandstone cliffs is home to a variety of animal species, including lions, elephants, and hippos.

The Niger River is a great place to go for a relaxing paddle or canoe ride. The river is also home to a wide variety of birds, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers.

The Dogon people are known for their unique traditional dances and masks. If you're interested in learning more about this fascinating culture, be sure to visit one of the villages in the Dogon Plateau.
