Bozos for Mopti
The desert river port town of Mopti is not particularly popular with guidebooks:
“…reputation for hustlers…old town lacks aesthetic harmony…new town isn’t particularly modern…feels a little crowded and oppressive…odoriferous shores of the port…”
But photographically, how can you go wrong with a town built on three islands (at the confluence of the Niger and Bani rivers) linked by dykes in the middle of desert desolation, whose original settlers were the Bozo tribe of fishermen?

The energy of the place really comes through this collection of photos.
Thanks. Although there’s nothing to officially “see” in Mopti, I think it was one of my favorite places in Mali.
