About Bamako
Located on the Niger River, Bamako is the capital city of Mali, in West Africa. Bamako, which means ‘crocodile tail’ in the local language, has both a rich history and some of Africa’s most vibrant natural life. The city is the administrative center of the country and is considered one of Africa’s most leading cities in many regards, especially in economy and trade. Thanks to its location the climate is temperate year-round, even in the ‘coldest’ months, December and January. Bamako is important in food and textile production as well as fishing. The fish caught in the Niger River are sold both in the city and to the surrounding cities.
Buildings feature typical African architecture and among the must-see sites are the Grand Mosque of Bamako, National Museum of Mali, and Botanical Gardens. One of the best things you can do in and around town is to discover the unchanging life of the locals.
