Enter the Dogon
Safe in their cliffside villages, the Dogon tribes resisted Muslim conquest and conversion for centuries, although they were often victims to slave raids.
Even today, despite living in a staunchly Islamic country, the majority of the close to a million Dogon tribespeople continue to practice their animist beliefs.

Nice shots and selections! Your pics speaks a lot!
Awesome. Love the beauty in the authenticity.. Did they offer you accommodations!
This place has a really unique style. Is the whole area like that or just the village?
Thanks! Yes, all the Dogon villages are similarly built, and we did get offered accommodation.
The houses grow out of the rocks. Very beautiful.
