Mali Map

	WARNING: Mali is a dangerous region for Westerners to visit because of fighting with Islamist rebels. They have been responsible for several kidnappings of foreigners, most of whom were killed after being held for months in remote desert camps. Travellers cannot expect to get consular services in the event of an emergency. Many governments recommend against all travel to Mali outside of Bamako.

A landlocked country in the Sahel, Mali remains one of the poorest countries in the world, but it has wonderful musicians and some incredible sights, including four UNESCO World Heritage sites and the historic city of Timbuktu.
