National Park of Mali in Bamako The builders of the park call it National Park of Mali which is located in Bamako, the capital city of Mali. But, it is not really categorized as a national park as of yet. It is just the name, but still, it is one of the places to visit in Mali. Anyway, this park was launched in 2010 by Diébédo Francis Kéré of Kéré Architecture. It was built on a forest reserve and has an area of 103 hectares – the forest reserve is about 2,100 hectares, though. The abundance in space is one of the features of the park as it will serve to be the ground for educational and leisure activities.
