The day starts with Moussa guiding us through the national park. The more than 200kms large forest and jungle is under the Unesco Protection since 1981 and is clearly a wonderful place for Hippos, gazelle, monkeys. We will need another visit to know whether the lion foot print are real …

Btw this is better here to enjoy the high price and low quality food from the restaurant; according to Moussa 12 local hunters have killed by the guards last Sunday because they killed a buffalo!

On the way, broken trucks dusty roads and African temperature for this 400kms stage.

The border crossing to Mali was less chaotic than expected (or we are getting used to it, the first border control guy even wanted us to stay over the weekend because we arrived friday afternoon only), and finally around 6:30pm we arrived in our destination country Mali! There are less than 1000 kilometers to go to Bamako and we are confident that the whole team will make it there on Sunday!
