Bookmark & shareA sub-Saharan trading outpost practically unchanged for centuries.
Djenné is often missed by travellers because it lies off the main route between Bamako and Mopti but it is well worth the visit. It lies on the Niger River delta and is particularly picturesque in the rainy season when it turns into an island surrounded by water.
