Life Onboard
Sailing along the bank of Niger River on a "pinasse" (taxi boat) is not an easy trip, but the memories are worth the pain!!
You might have to organize shifts to rest a few hours, but a sunset on the River is such a reward!
You might have to deal with proximity and absence of privacy, but the breathtaking landscapes along the way are such a reward!!
Sailing Niger River is definitely an unforgettable adventure and a trip like no others.

Life of the River
Hour after hour, you will meet other boats. Fishing boats, “cargo ships”, taxi boats…Traffic is sometimes pretty “intense”.
On the banks, little villages sometimes flourish .Inhabitants often gather to look at the bigger boats or to wait for deliveries.
Water usually leads to agriculture and it is the case here. You will see many cultivated lands with Malian working hard to sustain their family.
Elephants, hippopotamus…Open your eyes. The fauna of the River can be surprising!
