We return to Mopti, this time to actually spend some time to see it. Mopti is rancid and filthy. Ogo tells us it is the largest fishing port in Africa. Mopti is on the Bani River, which flows into the Niger. We take a cruise in a river boat up the Niger and back for five or six hours. It is pleasant and relaxing. Along the river banks we see the Bobo tribes people. They are nomads. They live in makeshift villages in temporary straw huts to fish the waters until they will load all of their belongings back into their boats and paddle further to fish new waters.
