Hi there,
I've done Burem-Tombouctou in January 2006 on my KTM LC4 Adventure and I have to admitt that I was a little exhausted when arriving at Tombouctou ;-)
Most of the time you have to drive in a winding sandy rut and can't get out of it because of trees and bushes, as described by Chris. And watch out for oncoming traffic in these passages! I guess there's not more then 1 or 2 vehicles per day, but sometimes one is enough ;-)
The track offers a few fantastic views on the river but I'd say that 90% of the time you can't see the Niger.
In Burem there's a "gas station" opposite of the mosque.
Have fun
Theo
