5.00Me and my husband had such a great time! This is truly a real experience of the Sélingué village. The village is beautiful and the people are beautiful, kind, and welcoming. Our tour guide Abdoula, he is very energetic, patient, happy, and very knowledgeable of Mali history and the village. You can take as many pictures as you want and its actually encouraged, as long as you're being respectful. Me and my husband were staying in Bamako and they actually did pick us up from our hotel. If you're worried about safety, don't be because this tour is 100% safe! Also, we passed by a village that my friend was born in! He's Malian American with the last name Samake, and goes back at least twice a year. He too was extremely happy we took this tour. If you're in Bamako please take this tour so you can have a real experience of Mali. You'll be happy you did! Here are a couple of pictures out of over 100 ❤🇲🇱
