Mali


When we went to Mali we hired a car and looked around a bit at the countryside. We also found a nice hotel and ate a lot of different kinds of food.The countryside is mostly desert and there are a lot of sandstorms.




Our Guidebook: If you go to Mali you have to have a yellow fever vaccination and a visa is required. It can rain also in the winter months. It is a very hot country generally.
