What travellers are saying
- ajaenson71Bamako, Mali54 contributionsSet in a corner of the vast casino hall this restaurant looks rather depressing. The gambas however are worth defying both the smoke clouds and the clatter from the slot machines. Don't bring your loved one here for a romantic evening, though...Unless she's really in to gambas or chinese gambling.Written 13 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Truji5 contributionsThe entrance is really cheap. The place is small an the displays are small too, you can see it in an afternoon. The thing is that the displays are awesome, some beautiful masks and wood carvings, a small representation of a temple and displays of textiles. Incredible place to see. No photos inside allowed.Written 24 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rashad KoaikBamako, Mali39 contributionsI went to visit the zoo for the second time in Bamako. This entry tickets are VERY cheap (around 1.5$ only) and the tour can take around 2 hours to visit all the animals.
Some of the animals hide in the shade when it is hot and you cannot see them. The personnel is very helpful if you ask for info so do not hesitate (french speaking).
Also for around 8$ you can have a lifetime experience by feeding the zoo animals yourself. This starts at 7h30am and lasts for 2 hours. I havent tries it yet though but i will edit my review once i do.Written 7 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Truji5 contributionsI went in and was accompanied by a local, he spoke French and I only now like two or three words, despite that he was really helpful and understanding. You take your shoes off before entering. It's a big space with carpet on the floor, it was empty of people. The guy showed me around and we rested on the carpet. I asked if I could take pictures and he said yes. After the trip I offered money as thanks but he kindly refused. It's a beautiful experience.Written 24 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
