Things to see and do Bougouni

Diakassan Moussa was the son of Midia, of the family of Diakité, current chiefs of Bougouni. He served as ambassador to the king bambara of Segou. During his multiple journeys, Diakassan learned Arabic and converted to Islam. At his death, his parents remained animists, inhumèrent with his holy books, according to the fetishist custom. Before dying, Diakassan asked God that a tree grows at the bedside of his grave so that his soul is immortal. His wishes were fulfilled: A majestic balanzan stands next to his grave. This is where ritual sacrifices are taking place (kola, chickens, cattle…). These ceremonies are always led by the Dean of the Diakité Clan.

In this plain, more than three thousand people fell into one day under the bullets of Samory, emperor of Du.

Kola is a small village situated less than 10 km from Bougouni towards Sikasso, 1,5 km from the tar. This museum, all in the nubiennes valley and vaults, houses old fetishes of ceremonies, old masks and tam tam, and other weapons and grey-grey chasseurs. There is a warm welcome and a lot of legends. The villagers have not set entrance prices to the museum, so it is the visitor's goodwill.

Kola is also a site of traditional merchants.

Dissan is a small village between Bamako and Bougouni. From the capital you have to leave the tar on the left just after the village of Sido. In the other direction, it is indicated by a sign of the OMATHO, the Malian Tourist Office. To make good use of these reptiles, come before 16 pm, they are couche. The kola are always welcome to offer the old ones. Also provide a small ticket to leave for the visit.
