Mali has many classic / landmark sites. It is in the Sahel (area between the Sahara desert and the savannahs). Most of Mali is safe except North of Timbuktu (bandits) and East of Timbuktu (Toureg conflicts).
Visas needed, obtainable in Rabat or Nouakchott while we wait (http://www.sahara-overland.com/country/mali.htm)
We would like to see:
- Bamako - Capital - we will get Burkina Faso and Ghana visa here
We will do research as we go, but think these might not be safe anymore:
- Timbuktu - legendary city, end of the earth - not too much to see
- Hombori
