Segou trip planner

Nestled along the Niger River, Segou has established itself as a major port and key player in Mali's cultural development. Capital of the historic Bambara Kingdom in the 17th century, the settlement grew, partly due to to the area's thriving textile industry. Soak up the rich West African culture throughout your Segou holiday, from its manufacturing of Bogolan mud cloth, to its Malian pottery and local handicrafts. When navigating the streets, watch for classic French-colonial and Sudanese architecture that's scattered across the town's many buildings and monuments.
