A trip through this remarkable region of Mali usually means trekking along the Falaise of Bandiagara and staying overnight in the villages on the bottom of the cliff. Due to the immense heat a few kilometers is about the maximum distance we covered a day, beside this speed allowed to soak up the landscape and village life.
We were extremely lucky to be present for the “festival des Masques”, an old tradition of the Dogon Country. The whole village of Ende was participating either as dancers or spectators.
Both colourful and amazing pictures. That must have been a wonderful journey. Thanks
Yes, it was an incredible (but challenging) trip.
Unfortunately, Mali is now completely out of reach… A shame, as this is a beautiful country that has so much to offer !
Superb photography, Gilles. Thanks very much for sharing this interesting journey.
