What to pack for Mali in the spring

In Mali, the spring months are typically warm and dry with temperatures ranging from mild to hot.

Lightweight, breathable clothing made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen is ideal for staying comfortable in the heat. Loose-fitting tops, dresses, and skirts are suitable for women, while men can opt for short-sleeved shirts and lightweight trousers.

It's also advisable to bring along a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect against the bright sun. As Mali can experience occasional dust storms during this season, it's a good idea to pack a few scarves or shawls to cover your face and hair when needed. Additionally, comfortable walking shoes or sandals are essential for exploring the cities and venturing into the countryside.

Overall, packing a mix of casual, modest, and practical clothing will ensure you're prepared for the spring weather in Mali.
