I often enjoy coming for mass on Sundays at 10AM. The Cathedral is well ventilated, however like everywhere in Bamako...it can get quite hot during hot season. Best to pick aisle close to open...

Cathedral of Bamako, in a country with 99% of Muslims, this cathedral is a good opportunity for Christians. I attended Sunday Mass.
