It is with great pleasure that we launch the news of our boat being ready for river trips.
The traditional wooden pirogue was hand-made on a wharf in Ségou. Lots of work has been done and many local craftsmen were involved. We warmly thank each and everyone of them for the amazing job done. Over the weekend we set out on the first trip with the men who made our boat come true, honoring their hard work and dedication. The engine was running smoothly and the impressive number of six captains took turns steering the boat.
Papillon’s pinasse is available for short and long trips on the Niger river.
For multiple day trips on the Niger river in between Koulikoro and Mopti, as well as for short trips such as Ségou-Markala, visits to the pottery villages Kalabougou and Farako, a visit to a Bozo island or a relaxing sunset trip.
We will regularly schedule trips and announce them in the travel calendar on our website as well as via our Facebook, Twitter and Google+ pages.
Besides the trips scheduled, we will be happy to tailor-make your Niger river experience.
Looking forward to welcome you on board,
Ibrahim, Monique, Togan (captain) and Oumor (assistant to the captain)
