🌍 About Bamako

Bamako sprawls along the Niger River, which is the city's spine — pirogues still ferry people across and fishermen work the banks below Point G hill. It's one of West Africa's great music cities: the kora-and-guitar tradition of Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté is homegrown, not a tourist act, and live griot music turns up in neighborhood clubs most weekends. Eat dibi — grilled lamb with raw onions and chili, cut to order at streetside grills after dark — or grilled capitaine, the meaty perch pulled from the Niger. The National Museum of Mali holds a serious collection of bògòlan, the mud-dyed cloth that's the region's signature textile. Come November to February, dry and merely hot; skip March–May, when afternoons push past 40°C, and the June–September rains.
