Kayes Region, Administrative region in western Mali
The Kayes Region spans 120,760 square kilometers, featuring a transition from wet climate near Guinea to Sahelian conditions in the northern sections.
The region housed part of Poland's gold reserves during World War II before their transfer to the United States in 1944.
The territory contains multiple ethnic communities, including Soninkés, Khassonkés, Malinkés, Dialonkés, and Fulas, each maintaining their languages and traditions.
The region connects to other areas through Route Nationale 1 highway, an international airport, and the Dakar-Niger Railway with tri-weekly service.
The Falls of Félou and Gouina, along with the Talari Gorges, Lakes Magui and Doro form natural landmarks across the region.
