About

It is in Sépikaha, a village located in the North of the department of Niakaramadougou, that we find this gigantic granite rock called the Yéliman. It is immense and in the shape of a dome mysteriously placed on small rocks that ensure a perfect balance that arouses the curiosity of all.

According to the legend, the rock revealed itself one day to a hunter and promised him protection, wealth and social welfare on condition that an animal sacrifice be made to it every Monday. The Yeliman rock has since become a popular and frequented place of worship and sacrifice.
