Centuries-old tradition

The season of cattle crossings along the River Niger in Mali is under way.

The first crossing for the cattle is at the town of Diafarabe, 350km (220 miles) north-east of the capital, Bamako.


The tradition goes back many hundreds of years and has been recognised by the UN as a world cultural heritage event.]]> Travel Pictures Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:10:47 GMT http://lagosisland.forumotion.net/travel-pictures-f19/mali-cattle-crossings-t157.htm#277 http://lagosisland.forumotion.net/travel-pictures-f19/mali-cattle-crossings-t157.htm http://lagosisland.forumotion.net/travel-pictures-f19/ile-ife-nigeria-t95.htm Admin Oranmiyan's staff at Ife Oranyan (also known as Oranmiyan) was a Yoruba king from the city of Ife, Nigeria and the son of the mythical Oduduwa.
