The flooded forests beside the Kayes-Yélimané and Bamako–Kangaba roads can also be a rewarding find for various migratory and water birds. The sandstone cliffs of Dogon Country are good for finding large raptors, while the wooden savannah in valleys of the same Dogon cliffs are home to Abyssinian and a colorful variety of bee-eaters, finches, weavers, parrots and numerous small raptors. In urban areas look out for black kites (with a yellow bill and forked tail), purple glossy Stallings, black-faced fire finches and Malian ground doves. The Malian fire finch inhabits the dry grassland and thickets of the Sahel. The scavenging cap vulture is Mali’s most common vulture. Maliba Tours is committed to taking you to off the beaten track.
