Things to see and do Mopti

Hosted by Amadou Anagaly Dolo, this agency is a real reference. She is specialist in Dogon country.

We strongly recommend this agency. Whatever circuit (organized or à la carte), you will not have a bad surprise. The team led by Issa Ballo is very professional. The 4 x 4 are in very good condition.

The market is held every Thursday. It is the place of meetings of the peoples of the region, and a good opportunity to find beautiful things.

Built in 1933 by the Djenné masons under the direction of an administration clerk, this mosque has the same aspect as that of Djenné. Its renovation was funded by Prince Aga Khan IV.

The port is the busiest place in the city. The isolation of the northern regions makes the inland waterway very popular from Mopti, where water levels permit navigation throughout the year. The harbour is always crowded with canoes and pinasses. One of its parts is occupied by a repair and repair site for canoes. Around it is daily a market for dried or smoked fish. You can also observe the unloading of pinasses from Taoudéni mines, loaded with salt bars.

Good agency. It offers various excursions in Dogon country and can organise solidarity trips. Circuit rates vary according to the number of days and people. For a circuit in motor pinasse, count 400 000 FCFA to link Timbuktu (3 days), 700 000 FCFA for Gao (7 days). This price includes fuel, meals and tents for the night. As for the rental of vehicles, prices are between CFAF 30 000 and CFAF 60 000.

This excellent guide from the village of Endé carried out visits with journalists and reporters. Circuit from Mopti or Bamako, on foot, by car or in 4 x 4 Dogon.
