Art Wolfe's Travels to the Edge

Sahel to the Sahara

Mali is more than the Sahara; it is a place where the Niger River flows past some of Africa’s unique tribal and architectural wonders. Art Wolfe follows the river road to the camouflaged villages of the cliff-dwelling Dogon people, floats downriver to Djenne’s fantastic mud mosque, heads into the desert with nomadic Tuaregs and finally travels on to Timbuktu where he meets up with a camel caravan.
