The 'dogotige' is the village chief- when one arrives at a village in West Africa, the first thing one does is to visit the dogotige. Mungo Park did the same in 1795, when he passed by here- he calls them 'dooty' in his fascinating diaries.

The hotel closed on the last day of June 2017. For a continuation of my adventures please go to my new blog www.commutingtotimbuktu.blogspot.com
