Introducing Ségou
There’s something about Ségou; while Mopti is an example of clamorous river-based comings and goings, Ségou, strung out lazily along the riverbank 230km east of Bamako, has a languid slow-paced charm, and there’s an unmistakeable sense that it remains a village in disguise. With its wide avenues, faded colonial buildings and nearby river excursions, it’s a wonderful place to slow down and rest from life on the African road.
