Tombuktu the mythical

Trip description

Just as inescapable as the Dogon Country, the city of the 333 saints is a landlocked city, difficult to access and strongly discouraged by the authorities. The best way to get there is to take home flights or rent a 4 x 4 from Mopti. Air departures are almost regular. But since you are never at the end of its surprises, it is strongly recommended to consult the schedules beforehand. If the Bamako-Timbuctou flight is delayed (or deleted), you should take the following route accordingly. This circuit is established on a basic basis, i. e. without the incidents that may occur in this type of route. Maybe set one or two days of beating.
