Here’s exactly what gov.uk has to say about your romantic holiday in Mali:

The situation in Mali is still volatile. You should maintain a high level of vigilance, keep a low profile and stay alert to local political developments. You should maintain several days’ stock of food and water in case disturbances take place.

Mali has managed to oust Ebola from its land which is awesome, but that’s by no means the country’s only massive beef.

After a military coup in 2012 and an attempt by the French military to crush Islamists in 2013, the country has been left in tatters. Thanks to the French army’s engagement, a white face is not necessarily a welcome face and kidnapping is rife.
