Attraction
Who hasn't heard of Timbuktu one of the most isolated places in the world, synonymous with being "out in nowhere" but this ancient, famous city was just a small part of this extremely unique trip. The group would start in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (pronounced "wah gah doo goo" - isn't that a great name?), heading into Mali (Dogon land), Djenne, Mopti, travel up the Niger River, Timbuktu, ending up in Bamako, Mali.
The "History Channel" just aired a two-hour special, "Sahara" the other evening. Try and watch it.
