Capital of Mali is Bamako 

Languages: French, Bambara, African Languages

Bamako: On the Niger River, Bamako is a surprisingly alive city and the best place to begin learning about the Mali culture. Enjoy the botanical gardens and the zoo, but also spend some time in the Grande Marché, the capital's biggest marketplace with a wide variety of handicrafts and more traditional workings, and the National Museum, because a previous president moonlighted as an archaeologist. Further upstream, find the ruins of Mbelba near Ségou about 120 miles away, and the ruins of Jenné-Jeno near Djenné another 100 miles away.
