West Africa Explored - AFWA6R
Introduction: This grand adventure is one of amazing contrasts. Explore deserts, rainforests, mountains, valleys, and beaches. See the sights in vibrant cities and sleepy villages, dance to West African rhythms or learn to beat a drum. Walk with the animals and birds of the rainforest in Kakum National Park, and with the elephants in Mole National Park. Stretch your legs whilst exploring the unique villages of the Dogon people. Watch life slide by whilst retracing ancient trading routes on course to the mystical gateway to the Sahara - Timbuktu. Visit the ancient city of Djenné and its famous mud mosque. Above all else, immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, smells and tastes that make this region unique.
