What to pack for Mali in the winter

For a winter visit to Mali, it is important to pack clothing that will keep you warm during the cooler months.

Temperatures can drop significantly at night, so it is essential to bring layers, such as long-sleeve tops, sweaters, and jackets.

Additionally, it is advisable to bring a warm hat, gloves, and a scarf to protect against cold winds.

Comfortable yet sturdy footwear is also important, especially if you plan on exploring outdoor areas or navigating uneven terrain.

In the winter, Mali experiences dry, cool temperatures with clear skies and little to no rainfall.

Daytime temperatures generally range from 18-25°C (64-77°F) while nighttime temperatures can drop to around 10°C (50°F), especially in the northern regions. The Harmattan, a dry and dusty trade wind, may also blow through the country during this time, creating hazy conditions and reduced visibility.

Overall, the winter climate in Mali is relatively mild and dry, making it a popular time for tourists to visit.
