Bandiagara
7.9
High score (8-10)
Bandiagara sits on the Dogon Plateau where tourism dollars actually move through the local economy—guides, hotels, restaurants all need to deal with foreigners. You'll be exotic but not totally anomalous, and the slightly better infrastructure than surrounding villages means a functioning food and internet situation. The Escarpment draws enough visitors that a foreign guy stands out without being treated like an alien.

You're still in deep Mali—French is necessary, English almost worthless, and dating across the cultural and religious divide requires real patience. The town works as a traveler base, but the dating pool is virtually non-existent; any connection happens through tourism work or by pure chance with an open-minded local.
