The route to Timbuktu
 

Have spent time looking at my map now and wondor if anyone can let me know the route they took, how long to get there and what the tracks were like? (ie how deep is the sand)

Thanks

Read any of the 'Blogs' (left hands side bar - in grey ) .. some of them have been to Timmbucktoo) .. Tiff is one of the ones I've read..

Hi

In Fev 2005 I made Nema, Nampala, Léré, Niafounké, Goundam, Timboukto.
The track is easy , exception to the big holes provoked by the trucks

The track in Ozi format:

Do you know if it's possible to drive it in august?
If not, I saw that there is a quite direct track from Nema to Lac Faguibine, then Timbuctù... any suggestions about it?

Thanks

Same question of Ag. How is it to get to Tombouctou in August ?
I would drive from the south, possibly from Kona-Korienze-Niafounke or from Douentza but I read it could be a bit muddy ...

Thanks,
Mario

Plan to start searching the blogs, but we are intested in the same dets as Ag & MoMix.

We are getting ready to head into Mali with our truck in just a couple of weeks, spending all of August there. With the rainy season upon us - any recent info would be a great help!

thanks much!
