Safety & Scams

CRITICAL: Exercise extreme caution; many governments advise against all travel to large parts of Mali due to terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict; if traveling, stick to Bamako and use professional security; healthcare is extremely limited; avoid all public demonstrations; strictly follow local embassy advice.

Getting Around

Taxi-brousses are the main form of intercity transport but are risky; pirogues (canoes) are used on the Niger River; Bamako has a network of shared taxis (Sotrama); domestic flights are sporadic; roads to the north are often closed or dangerous.

Cultural Etiquette

Greetings are prolonged and very important; dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered); always ask permission before taking photos; avoid discussing sensitive political issues; remove shoes when entering homes or mosques.

Internet & Connectivity

Connectivity is limited mostly to Bamako and major towns; 3G/4G is available via providers like Orange and Malitel but can be erratic; internet is scarce to non-existent in northern and rural regions; Wi-Fi in hotels in Bamako is standard but slow.
