Uli I of Mali

Mansa Uli, also called Wali, was the second mansa of the Mali Empire and son and successor of Sundiata Keita. Remembered as one of Mali's greatest rulers, he consolidated the new empire and may have been the first mansa to bring Walata, Timbuktu and Gao under Mali's rule.

Between 1260 and 1277 he made the pilgrimage to Mecca. He was apparently succeeded by his brother Wati, while his son Qu later took the throne.
