Getting Around
Getting around Bamako can be an adventure in itself. Taxis are the most common and convenient option, readily available throughout the city. Agree on a fare before starting your journey, as meters are rarely used. For shorter distances or a more local experience, 'Sotrama' minibuses are a budget-friendly choice, though they can be crowded and follow specific routes. Motorbikes and motorcycle taxis ('Woro-woro') offer quick transit but require caution. Walking is feasible in some central areas, but be mindful of traffic and heat. Consider hiring a car with a driver for longer excursions or if comfort is a priority.
