Hey guys! Apologies for the hiatus. I was recently in Bamako for work and I absolutely fell in love with the people and their love for art. Here are a few highlights:
The museum & botanical gardens are a must go!... Breathtakingly beautiful!
Pouting with a clay figurine in a depiction of their local transport
Miniature depiction of a building in Timbuktu
Stone carving
Pretty flowers at the botanical gardens
Wild flower amid the hyacinth in the Niger River
Keeping stylish while fishing
A rainstorm on the River Niger
Their pastries were super delicious! Plus I had ginger & hibiscus juice for the first time ever!
The Bogolan or 'mud-cloth' is the quintessential fabric of West Africa that is particularly associated with Mali.
A local club with traditional symbols on the wall & with a ceiling decorated with fabric.
Beautiful pictures Sienna!

DeleteAmazing! I would really like to visit Mali one day, Senegambia region as well. Did you enjoy the Bissap? A tad sweet but really refreshing, have had it with mint in place of ginger.
ReplyDeleteDarling! Yes I loved the bissap, it was amazingly refreshing! Will definitely try it with mint next time!
