The Interesting Parc National du Mali

I visited the Parc National du Mali and had the chance to enter the museum inside. It is a fantastic place. The museum was well maintained and very interesting. The Mali parc is a very nice way to spend a few hours with friends or family. You can have a picnic outside, or they have some restaurants inside. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Bamako, Mali. It is a quiet place to stroll around. It has got a nice restaurant as well at the far end of the park. You can relax and have a nice evening walking around the parc.
