hello Shaun,

I have been in Tombouctou 2 months ago with my own car. It's very easy to get there by road. It's a two day drive from Bamako, all the way tarmac only the last part you take a small gravel road from Douentza and just before you reach Tombouctou you take a (brand new?) ferry.

I stayed with some locals and put my tent on the roof of the house, that was for free.

The internet there is sponsored by Swisscom and is remarkably fast.(show your studentcard)

Enjoy the travel,
Mathijs
