Pays Dogon, Mali is unlike the usual places which come to people’s minds when they think of trekking. Also known as Dogon Country, it is an isolated area which is situated in eastern Mali and it is not that far from the Burkina Faso border. The Dogon people reside in villages constituted of mud brick houses on rock faces that rise to up to 500 meters. This place is remote and rugged, the best place to be explored by foot. While the rest of Mali is predominantly Muslim, Dogon people are animists and ceremony or rituals still play a major role in their lives. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the culture of this place is unlike anything else. Trekkers will get to take in everything from the green luscious onion fields to the red mud huts and high cliffs. The food available is mainly made out of millet and the carved windows and doors of the residents is an unspoken highlight of the tour.<\/em><\/p>\n

The summers around May are brutal and definitely a time you should avoid as temperatures are in the 40s then. The cooler months of November\/ December are much better as the days are warm but the nights are cold. Going in the hot season means you avoid the hoard of tourists, but it’s up to you to decide if the heat is worth straggling in. You can also visit during the rainy season, but the sun exposure will still be there and you will feel it for sure.<\/p>\n
