Senegal Carnet - entry from Mali

Hi,

I am aware from other posts that technically if a vehicle is over 5 years old a carnet is required for entry to Senegal. If the vehicle is currently 5 years old, can someone confirm if a carnet is still required - how strict are they on this issue as my bike is a 2001 reg and I will be entering late 2006?

I have also heard that entering from Mali without a carnet is significantly easier than entering via the Rosso or Demia borders from Mauritiania - can someone who has entered via Mali confirm if this is the case?

Lastly, I have seen reports that bikes registered in other CFA zone countries do not require carnets for Senegal. Does anyone know if this extends to all African registered vehicles (including South Africa) or is it just the CFA zone.

cheers

C'mon - someone must have entered Senegal recently via Mali? Any updates on how easy it is to enter without a carnet?

cheers

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.
