Our Tour in West Africa enures a wonderful vacation suitable to the needs of different tourists.

Your vacation in West Africa will be memorable, thanks to our services; to our English, German and French speaking guides; to our cozy attitude.

The tour lasts a wekk and is centered around Timbuctu, known for having being an important center for the propagation of Islam, and for its privileged position in Mali, meeting point between West African peoples and Arabs. 


We start from Bamako, where you can have dinner, and take our way to Timbuctu. Here we explore the city and its beautiful mosques, typical houses and museums.

In Timbuctu you have the chance to take a camel ride in the desert as well, during which we visit a traditional Touareg Camp: here we meet the blue men and assist to a Touareg Dance. After dinner, we spend the night at the camp or aletrnatively in a hotel.

From Timbuctu we continue our West Africa Tour with a day in Mopti: here we visit its mosque, the characteristic fishing port and its folkloristic market. You can then enjoy a typical lunch at bar Bozo, an African restaurant.
During the afternoon we cruise on the Niger and Bani rivers to explore some beautiful and peaceful fishermen's villages, the wonderful downtown and the port.

The following day we enjoy an adventurous drive in 4wd to Sangha, in the country of Dogon, where we explore the village and its typical houses. We continue our West Africa Tour exploring Dogon culture and architecture. After lunch we have the opportunity to admire a marvellous mask dance, before coming back to Mopti.

Before finishing our Tour in West Africa we spend another day in an air conditioned 4WD vehicle which drives us to to Djenne: here we visit the ruins in Hamdallaye, the old capital of the ancient kingdom of Macina; its wonderful mosque, which is the most beautiful mud-made monument in the world. Lunch time in that place.
