Mali

This country is located in West Africa just beneath the Sahara desert. Did you know that it is considered one of the poorest nations in the world? Did you know that they do not speak English there? Approximately 90% of Malians are Muslim, but what remains after that is quite interesting. On this adventure we somehow managed to communicate, volunteer, and explore some very unique tribal villages. Our trip to Mali is here awaiting your visit... you may be quite surprised by what we found.
