Mali by boat


Mali by boat

Mali has two large rivers that are navigatable at least part of the year, both of which cross into neighboring countries, although only the Niger has much in the way of pirogues.
  • The Senegal River crosses into Mali from Guinea in the south and follows a northwest course into Senegal.
  • The Niger crosses into, appropriately enough, Niger. Large boats are only active August-November and do not continue far past the border, but small pirogues regularly ply between Gao and Niamey with many stops along the way.
