Mali: Sahel Journey

For those seeking an escape from the Western World and experience a small dose of adventure, while meet people and gain a better understanding of the world, Mali is an excellent destination. Ibike's Mali bicycle tour does all of this. Program participants stay in rural villages, get off the beaten track and learn about day-to-day life in central west Africa, meet artisans, health care personnel and educators, visit historic and cultural sites, and relax under mango trees and on the river. Highlights of the program include visits to Mopti and Djenne , wandering in multiple markets featuring local produce, handmade textiles, traditional medicine and much more, exploring the fascinating escarpment and enclaves of the Dogon people (with its many sacred sites) and a truly extraordinary riverboat trip on the Niger River.
