Bamako Airport Taxi and Transfers

Friendly and fast Bamako Airport taxi

Mali is the largest country in Western Africa, spanning an impressive 1.24 million km2. Its capital is the bustling city of Bamako. Located on the banks of the mighty Niger River, Bamako is a tapestry of different cultures, traditions and even languages. Be sure to visit the Musee National de Bamako, to learn about the country’s rich history, and take a stroll through the stunning Parc National du Mali, a dedicated green space in the heart of the city, covering an immense 17 hectares. We recommend taking a Bamako Airport taxi for a quick and easy transfer to reach this vibrant city.
