The village of Damba is situated on the small road between Koumantou and Fana / Segou.
They have one of the biggest trees of the country. It is a baobab that is very particular: the center of the tree is empty and probably 30 people can sit inside.
They organise some half muslim, half animist ceremonies inside, which often end by a sacrifice.

It is the tradition. You ask him if you can visit the village or the noticable places around. He will always say yes.
Those people are very poor, so you can give him some banknotes for the village.
