1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

It was a great trip. Aly was more than a Tour Operator. With his personal touch, not listed in tour itinerary, Aly made the trip very enjoyable. On all fronts, transport, food, accommodation the trip was well managed . In fact , I am looking forward to do the trip of Mopti, Djenne and Gao which Aly is contemplating in near future.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Timbuktu was the highlight. It was absolutely extraordinary. There were too many other wonderful places to mention them all.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

Talk to the tour operator in advance and get a sense of the situation on the ground and the chances of forced changes to the itinerary. If you are coming for a specific sight, be aware that events can mean that it is not possible to include it.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Yes, Mali is suffering from a long period of insecurity meaning that many Malians, particularly artisans have lost their livelihoods, which depend on tourists. We repeatedly heard from locals how desperate they are for the tourists to return.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

It was amazing - absolutely life changing.
