Sheep munching on the side of the road as we headed off again.


Stopping to get a photo of a Baobab tree.


Just after midday we arrived at the town of Ségou-Koro, situated 10 kilometers south of Ségou and on the right bank of the Niger River.


The local kids really excited to see the Toubab (white person) visitors.


And definitely not too shy for selfies with Sanny too!


Following Ibrahim with our local guide walking along a mudbrick wall alley. Ségou-Koro was created by the founder of the Bambara Empire, Kaladian Coulibaly in the 17th century.

The great-grandson of former king Kaladian Coulibaly, Bitňn Coulibaly, used the Ségou-Koro as a capital for his new Bambara Empire and built an army of several thousand men and a navy of war canoes to patrol the Niger River.
