The route of the annual circular migration of the Gourma elephants crosses a number of communes in the cercles of Gourma-Rharous and Douentza (Mopti Region). Lake Banzena (15°40′00″N 2°35′30″W) in the commune of Bambara Maoudé serves as an important source of water for the elephants at the end of the dry season (April to June).[3][4][5]

The cercle is divided into nine communes:[6][7]
