Smile Planning going to Mali or Niger... Any Recommendation?

Hi there Guys.. Sorry to boither.. just planning an Africa Trip.. and just want to know about your experience.

the thing is that I might go to Mali, Bamako to be more precise and explore other parts of the country from there. Is is possible to go to Agadez from there? Any danger? I mean.. Is it a long long long trip ?? Had anyone done it?


But the other thing to know if its better to go directly to Niger. It seems very veyr different countries.. Mali more crowded and more ¨touristic¨ in a way...

I am a Photographer / Musician and plannign to get some images from the trip.. kinda documentary just me and my wife.. so.. I am looking a good and safe place to take the camera and stuff.

Have done this kind of Trip in India.. and was very very nice. Wonderfull experience : :: : :




Also.. just noticing that there are no ATM on Mali? Is taht Right? Anyone know how to get the money when you´re there? DO the hotels accept Credit card and staff like that? Any problems?


And (The final question at last!) How much money do you think it cost Mali or Niger per day for One adult. No fancy hotel, budget, just transport, some food and the payments to guides and stuff like that..

Sorry to be a total pain!

thanks for the responses!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
