Get in

The best day to find transport to Djenne is Monday - market day - when many minibuses and bush taxis make their way to the town. Otherwise you may need to take transport to the Djenne junction on the main Bamako-Mopti road, and wait for further transport to Djenne.

Get around

For traveling short distances walking may be the best method as it allows you to appreciate the scenery and look at the mud based architecture in the city.

When the river is high, you can take a pinasse to nearby Fula villages.

    Get out

    On Tuesday morning there is a minibus to Bamako leaving at around 7:30 (7500CFA). (It may operate other mornings, too - I have no idea.)

    Otherwise, for westbound destinations you can get a minibus headed for Sevare and get off at the junction with the main road (2500CFA), where frequent buses run to Sissako and Bamako.
