	25-Sep-2013 dario	Well, Kasia It's true that the situation in the North is still not completely secured. However, progress are constant and we do believe that by the time there will be the festival things will be much safer than it has been in the last 5 years! In any case, be assured that safety of our guests is our first concern and the main concern of malian government.

We would like to remind to all participants of this Board that trying to self organize the trip to the Festival au Désert is challenging and can be hazardous: you may end up using a car in very poor conditions, and/or with a "guide" who will cheat you. Be wise and very careful! We strongly recommend to get in touch with one of our partner travel agencies or any other well known official malian travel agency: even if you don't want to be in a group, they can help you organize your travel. What is really important is that you get in touch with reliable persons!
