Dogon Country

The Dogon country is an exceptional place. It is protected and holds a lot of tradition. It is situated between Mali and Burkina Faso under the Bandiagara prairie. You can't go without a guide. They are available at Mopti, which is the main town, leaving the Dogon country, I had a bad experience with a guide who was of Mopti. The Dogon people didn't know him, but there are some guides that they do know so you will have a nice experience if you go with one of them. If you do not go Mopti, Bandiagara to reach or Sangha, the people up the cliff, you can get guides, tourists are waiting, and after all, they are just young people you show the tourists around .

What you have to determine and clarify with them, either writing on paper, are all the travel details. The people you will see, the exact duration, how many meals, what you will eat, because people are very poor and no food, then the guide has to carry food 3 or 4 days, and sometimes takes the minimum to save on what you give. Once all this done, the adventure begins!

Pour visiter le pays Dogon le mieux est...

Pour visiter le pays Dogon le mieux est de prendre un guide à Bandiagara, où il est facile d'obtenir la liste des guides officiels. J'ai moi même fait connaissance de Sibiri Traoré, qui est de loin le plus sérieux et compétant. Il peut organiser des sorties aussi bien sur une journée que sur plusieurs semaines et connait beaucoup d'endroits magnifiques et étonnants, des villages que parfois peu de touristes ont eu la chance de découvrir. Vraiment gentil et sympathique, il connait le Pays Dogon, l'histoire de chaque village et sait transmettre tout cela de façon captivante. Son contact : Strarore@yahoo.Fr 00223 79106078

It can organize trips as well as a day over several weeks and knows many beautiful and amazing places, villages sometimes few tourists have the chance to discover. Really nice and friendly, he knows the Dogon, the history of each village and knows how to convey it all so exciting. His contact: 00223 79106078 Strarore@yahoo.Fr
