DAY 3, LEG 13 - Nimba to Bamako
Following a lazy afternoon in the Nimba nature reserve and an extended lunch in the company of my hosts it was time to head off for my final leg of the day. Originally the plan was to spend the night in Dakar, but after a longer than planned stop in Nimba, my hosts had arranged accommodation in Bamako for the night.
The weather had cleared up since my arrival and a pleasant, warm evening was in store for the short flight to Mali.
Dusk in northern Liberia but thankfully the grass airfield at Nimba is quite a rarity in Africa - it is lit!
Need to clear the terrain at the end of the runway but thankfully the aircraft is very light so performance is not a problem this evening.
Nice flying conditions.
ILS approach to runway 06 at Bamako.
Parked at Bamako with a Kenya Airways 737 getting ready to depart to Nairobi in the background.
