Top Attractions in Man
💡 Haggling is expected, but keep it friendly — offering half the initial price is standard. Visit on a Saturday morning when more craftsmen are present.
💡 Best at sunset for the golden light. Bring mosquito repellent; the benches face the breeze but the bushes harbour insects.
💡 Ask at your hotel about current conditions — the river can rise after heavy rain. No facilities, so bring your own towel and drinking water.
💡 Go early — before 9am — to have the pools to yourself. Take sturdy sandals for the slippery rocks and a 500 CFA coin for the local guardian.
💡 Hire a guide at the trailhead for about 3000 CFA. The ascent takes 2–3 hours; bring plenty of water and a light jacket as it gets windy at the top.
