A visit to Dogon Country in Mali. We enjoy the superb view across the rocky plateau from the top of the Bandiagara cliff face before descending to the picturesque villages at the foot of the cliffs. The Dogon people are very friendly and hospitable. They have strong magical beliefs including a divination technique which uses foxes’ paw–prints to predict the future. As mystics and magicians, Dogon shamans are also said to possess strange and secret powers: for instance, they claim to have knowledge of several cosmological features that are invisible to the ordinary naked eye, such as the three stars of Sirius.
