Question 1

What are the major attractions in Bamako?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Bamako is all sorted out but your itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a helping hand.

Close to the city center, Bamako Grand Mosque is one spot you might like to consider adding to your to-do list. If you still have space on your schedule, Palais de la culture Amadou Hampate Ba and Fetish Stalls will keep you entertained too.

Question 2

What kind of rental car should I get for Bamako?

Accepted Answer

Bamako has lots on offer. You could spend a good while in this place and barely scratch the surface. To experience as much as possible in this buzzing metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Bear in mind that driving in the city often comes with tight streets and limited parking spaces. But don't stress — a small car like a compact will make this much easier to manage. If you're going to leave the city behind you and take in the impressive rock formations that Bamako is known for, you'll probably prefer a rental car with a bit more power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will make that scenic road trip even more fun.

Question 3

Should I get a luxury rental car in Bamako?

Accepted Answer

For some people, owning a luxury vehicle may be somewhat out of reach. But renting your dream ride is as easy as a few clicks! Imagine tearing down the open road in a high-end sports car, even if it's only for a little while. Or perhaps all you want is a trusty set of wheels to get you quickly and safely from point A to point B. Flashy or thrifty? Either way, there's a rental car to suit you in Bamako.

Question 4

Is it difficult to park in Bamako?

Accepted Answer

Parking in downtown Bamako isn't too much of a problem. That said, if you need to be somewhere at a designated time, you may want to leave a little earlier. Want another helpful tip? Pay attention to the signage — you don't want to receive a fine while you're away.

Question 5

Does Bamako have peak-hour traffic?

Accepted Answer

Bamako has a population of roughly 1,297,300, so you can expect some heavier traffic. The roads are at their busiest before and after work, especially around the city center.

Question 6

What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Mali?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, your rental car company will bill the amount stated on the fine to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may supply your contact details to local authorities so they can send a fine directly to you.
