Subjects : Djenné, overlooking the bank of the Bani River, a tributary of the Niger, is the center of a larger area that also includes some important archaeological sites. Since 2016 it has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is famous for its mud-brick constructions, including the impressive Grand Mosque. On Mondays, a beautiful market takes place that brings together many of the surrounding ethnic groups.

Recommended equipment : Something very "practical" to shoot in the middle of people, you don't need too many focal lengths.

Best months : The best time is winter, drier and cooler. Spring can be very hot, while rains are more likely in summer. At the end of the rainy season, the area of Djenné can become an island.

How to get there : Djenné is a small detour to make along the road that leads from Bamako (the capital, where the international airport is located) to Mopti. It is just over 500 km from the capital. It is necessary to rent a vehicle with a driver.

Visits : The city can be visited freely, I don't know if the archaeological areas are.
