Timbuktu Alternate Transportation to Timbuktu
Posted: Mon August 23, 2004 09:33 PM UTC
I am going to Bamako in October 2004 (4 travelers) and the flight schedule from Bamako to Timbuktu is difficult for us to work around. Please advise if there is any alternate modes of transportation to get to/from Timbuktu from Bamako.

Airfare to and fro Timbuktu are very expensive, so I suggest you rent a car. The road between Bamako and Timbuktu is excellent, excepted the last kilometres. You can make it in one day and even visit other places on the way.
be careful, if Timbuktu sounds a legend to be seen, there is absolutely nothing there. There are other places which will bring you more of Mali.
One thing to do in Timbuktu: a tour and a night in the real desert.
