Mopti: Love it or hate it...

by F_Meignant - last update: Oct 22, 2003

The mosque seen from the tourist camp
Mopti is a city that won’t let you indifferent: you love it or hate it. I loved it. Really.
Avenue de l’Indépendance
"Avenue de l’Indépendance" : a large street along the Bani River. It leads to the hospital and the Hotel Kanaga. The big trees are “cailcédrats”, a kind of mahogany tree.

Three main spots in Mopti:
the old city, its mosque and its women’s market;
the port and its fabulous atmosphere;
the Bani and Niger Rivers.

 They love those acronyms a la france francophone... COMANAV (Compagnie MARROCAINE de Navigation)... In Africa it is a sin to be vegetarian, demanding whilst others have trouble to eat no matter what.
