Bamako has developed on the northern side of the river, but as one of the fastest growing cities in Africa, new urban quarters sprouted on the south shore of the river. Two bridges connect the historic part of the town with the suburbs.

Until now Bamako can be very dusty, particularly in the dry season, and muddy during the rainy season, because there are only a few paved main roads, the rest of the city's streets are unpaved.

Bamako has a population of about 1.8 million inhabitants. Spoken languages are French (official) and other vernacular languages, mainly of the Mande group.

The city is located in the Sahel zone and has a tropical wet and dry climate with average temperature highs of over 30°C.

The city is home to the Université de Bamako, also known as the University of Mali. The Bamako Grand Mosque and the National Museum of Mali, an archaeological and anthropological museum, are also located in Bamako.
