Mali Maps Omatho "Carte Touristique du Mali"

I found these maps in Bamako.


I only looked them over a few minutes, but they did seem to have all the detail I am missing from my other maps. Some of the pistes I have tried were there, and accurate. And some I have been looking for were there, too.
There was even one "Les pistes de Mali" with only pistes.

Now the dude wanted 30 euros each, and I thought, wah I can get them online, can't I? For a better price?
But I haven't found them after, and regretted not buying them.
Anybody who has used them, and know where I can buy them?

Well Bertrand thanks
but I am no longer in Bamako
their homepage is rudimentary, not uptodate and there is not even a mention of any maps
surprised that maps that good could be made in Mali?
I was wondering if they can be found online
or anywhere else
According to this they were printed 2005 and a second edition in 2008. The price was 7500 CFA.

but merci for teaching me a new word "debrouillard"

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
