A village door in the Bandiagara Escarpment

Mali is a hot, dusty country in Saharan Africa, famous mostly for containing the now semi derelict town of Timbuctoo. It's one of the five poorest countries in the world, has limited hotels, restaurants and other normal travel facilities and is very unsophisticated and difficult to get around, so it's suitable for either experienced, fit, adventurous travel types who don't mind lacking a cold beer or a soft bed, or for tour groups with every luxury pre-arranged.
The country does have quite a lot of unique experiences to offer. Exquisite mud mosques - such as at Djenné - make great pictures, as does spectacular desert scenery - like at Bandiagara, village carvings, weird ritual clothing and sunset shots of the river Niger.
