Wat een geweldige reis hebben we door Benin gemaakt. Genoten van het begin tot het eind. In overleg met het team van Papillon hebben we alles voorbereid.
Samen met chauffeurs Sanny en Romain genoten. Wil je echt een ander Afrika? Ga naar Benin. De mensen, de cultuur, en op bezoek bij een heuse koning.

I cannot begin to say how highly I recommend Papillon Reizen. Mali is my first travel outside Europe since 2019 due to Covid , and the stars aligned to make this one of the very best guided trips of my life. The important thing to know about Mali is the situation is fluid and things change fast . You need someone on the ground who has full local intelligence and can help you to do things you want safely, and if things change , to be straight with you as to why you can’t. I thought Papillon Reizen did that very well and that is why I engaged them on the recommendation of other travellers I know and trust. However , they went beyond this- way beyond. Everything from fair and transparent pricing to understand my specific needs and catering to them and to providing the best guide, knowledgeable and with great humour, they did it all.
On top of that, with hours to kill before our flight, they showed us the most incredible hospitality. I went to Mali , having engaged a good company and I left Mali with new friends.
Thank you very much, Monique, Abdoulaye and Ibrahim!

We've just returned from nearly 3 weeks travelling through Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo & Benin. The tour company (specifically Monique) did a fantastic job putting together a great trip for us, which included the itinerary, guides, drivers, & lodging. Monique was prompt & helpful any time we had questions or needed assistance resolving any issues.
I can definitely recommend this tour company without any reservations.

Wat een geweldig idee van het team van Papillon reizen. In Mali een maaltijd samenstellen die vervolgens in Nederland gekookt kon worden. Alle kruiden en een perfecte omschrijving van de maaltijden werd thuis bezorgd. De verse producten uiteraard hier gekocht. We hebben ons er een zondag geweldig mee vermaakt. Heerlijk gekookt en zo mogelijk nog lekkerder gegeten.

Just before the Corona crisis started making travel impossible for us, I spent almost two weeks in Burkina Faso. The main goal of this trip was the mask festival Festima, which only takes place every two years. The trip was organized by Monique from Papillon Reizen. They have previously organized trips for me in Mali and Benin. Again it was a great trip. We are accompanied by an excellent driver and an excellent guide Ibrahim. An absolute must! Photos, a travelogue and some video fragments were made of the trip, Papillon Reizen knows the details of the travel site.

Es ist eine wundervolle Idee, Zutaten und Rezepte für original malische Gerichte Kochenthusiasten weltweit anzubieten!
Ich bestellte das Tika-Dege-Paket online bei der Agentur Papillon Reizen in Ségou. Gleich nach Zahlungseingang erhielt ich den Link zu dem Video mit der ausführlichen und wirklich sehr gut gemachten Kochanleitung sowie der Zutatenliste. Es macht viel Freude, Monique und Mariama - den beiden Köchinnen - beim Zubereiten des Gerichtes zuzuschauen. Ihre Erklärungen (in perfekt verstehbarem Englisch) sind super. Sehr professionell und doch authentisch und charmant.
Nun freue ich mich auf das Zutatenpaket direkt aus Mali, das in den nächsten Tagen hier in Deutschland eintreffen sollte. Danke Monique, danke Mariama!
Eine klare Empfehlung für das virtuelle Tika-Dege-Kocherlebnis. Es eignet sich auch sehr gut als Geschenkidee - für alle Liebhaber der afrikanischen Küche.

Excellent experience. Trip very well organized. We felt safe all the time. Do not panic. The local people were very warm and hospitable. Mali is an amazing destination and it is worth visiting. You need to have a distance to what you can hear on TV news. Everything was great. The same applies to Burkina Faso. I would highly recommend Papillon Reizen.

Regrettably, it has taken me some time to write this review. However, the more I reflect on our travels through Mali, the more I truly appreciate our experience.
I am fascinated by African culture, and as a result, have been fortunate enough to have traveled a lot in Africa. Mali has been on my 'watchlist' for a long time, with a particular focus on the Dogon people. Sadly the media paints a daunting picture of Mali, but my wife and I have traveled enough to know that what one reads vs what's happening on the ground is often quite different. Happily, this once again proved to be the case.
Before traveling, I reached out to a couple of operators in Mali, however dealing with Monique from Papillon Reizen had us look no further. Monique is not only on the ball but has evidently arranged plenty of tours to the region. Her knowledge of the country, its people and connection to what was going on around her; was not only reassuring but resulted in us having one of the best travel experiences we've ever had.
We only had two weeks leave, so opted to travel through the country by private vehicle, though many choose public transport. As far as accommodation was concerned, we weren't fussed. We did, however, request to spend a night here and there in places with electricity, so that we could charge our cameras, phones, etc.
In hindsight, I am pleased that we did this, with much of our trip spent off the beaten track. Having our own vehicle allowed us to access some of the more remote areas, and meant that getting around was quicker. Not being tied to more upmarket accommodation resulted in us spending most evenings under the stars, sleeping in peoples homesteads or on their rooftops (common practice as its so warm at night). Despite what the media says, we felt incredibly safe; particularly in the remote areas. All of our hosts were incredibly hospitable, going well beyond any expectation — a truly humbling experience.
Of our trip, our highlights were the Dogon and Koulikoro Regions and Djénne.
Hiking along the top of the Bandiagara escarpment in the Dogon country and then eventually seeing it from the base was fascinating! The Dogon villages and old Tellem structures built into the rock is a true wonder of the world. We were fortunate enough to witness a Dogon Masked Dance, which left an impression that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, and if I were to do it over, I would have likely spent the majority of our time here.
Djénne is also well worth a night or two, with the Great Mosque being as impressive as it looks in the pictures. We were fortunate enough to have received permission to go inside, and the energy of the building is palpable. The thick walls block out the hustle and bustle of the town and replace it with a silence that the best recording studios would battle to replicate. I have yet to visit a building that left such an impression spiritually.
In the Koulikoro Region, we stayed in a small village about half an hour away from Sibi. The landscape here is beautiful; the Dandan waterfalls, arch of Kamandjan and surrounding caves all being worth a visit. The people in these parts were also charming. It is less chaotic and not as hot in this part, so it made for a perfect place to wind down our adventure.
There are two people I've yet to mention - saving the best till last. Our guide Djibril and driver Amadou.
I can't remember the last time I met someone who left such an impression. Djibril was not only a wealth of information but is one of the kindest, most giving people I've ever met. He is the breadwinner of his family, using the money he makes to send his siblings to school, put a roof over their head and give back to his community. He worked around the clock to make sure that we had a successful trip, and even after we returned home continued to answer any questions that I had. I cannot recommend him highly enough as a person, guide and friend.
Traveling with Amadou was also a pleasure. He is quiet, but the type of person you want him on your side. His driving was impeccable, and he always had an eye on the car and our belongings. He helped out wherever he could and proved to be a considerable asset behind the scenes. We owe much of the success of our trip to Amadou. He and Djibril were a great team, and when we return, we won't travel with anyone else.
I hope that you decide to visit Mali. If you're reading this, I can assure you that it is as fascinating as you're imagining.

I cannot speak highly enough of Monique and her whole team at Papillon Reizen. Monique was fantastic every step of the way--from planning a completely customized, phenomenal itinerary, to explaining the current security situation, to advising on our trip while we were on it. All of our guides were excellent. In Bamako, we watched U20 Mali soccer team with our guide Djibril and some friends after he took us around the city. We also had a really nice visit with Boubacar Sedek, a calligrapher who I highly recommend meeting with to purchase his work but even if only to learn about his craft. In Ségou, we took a dugout canoe to a nearby fishing village and took lessons in playing balafon and n'goni; we also visited a mud-cloth workshop. Papou was a wonderful guide.
Undoubtedly the highlights of our trip were our trek through Dogon country and Djenné. I know there are many stunning places in the world, but Dogon has to be near or at the top of the list. We spent 4 nights hiking between villages and sleeping on rooftops. It was hot (we traveled in June) but worth it. Our guide in the Dogon region, Mamadou (Man), was one of the kindest, most wonderful people we've encountered in our travels. Like Dogon, Djenné was an endlessly fascinating place; we spent two nights. We also spent a night in Mopti, which is also worth visiting.
We’ve traveled to around 80 countries, including places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, DRC, and the Central African Republic. At the time of our visit, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about the security situation in Mali. We were totally safe in Mali; Papillon Reizen helped steer us clear of places that were unsafe and now we are so glad we didn’t listen to everyone who said we shouldn’t go, or the State Department travel warnings. The reality is much different on the ground.
Lastly, I would be remiss not to single out our driver, Ibrahim. Ibrahim is quite simply one of the most wonderful people we’ve met traveling. When I had a fever mid-trip, Ibrahim literally sat by my bed with cold towels and brought me anything I needed. Of course, he’s a terrific driver and guide as well, but what a tremendously kind and caring person.
Don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions you might have as you think about a trip with Papillon Reizen, but my advice would be not to hesitate--you will not be disappointed.

We book a customized trip from Bamako to Djenne via Segou and back. We contact the company directly by mail and the 3-day-tour was tailor-made for us.
We were very pleased with the guide, the driver and the entire organisation.
With a group of only 2 individuals, the guide could address all our requests.
The tour gives us a good understanding for the country and the peoble.
Thank you to the whole team of Papillon Reizen!!!

Hi Papillon!
Is it possible and safe to go to Timbuktu?
Do you do tours to Timbuktu?
Kind regards,

They don't do tours there at the moment. It would be difficult to find anyone who would take you. One option is to fly there, but it would be expensive.
Boats go from Mopti, take 3 days I think. Its a Big Risk though!!!!
