Crossed from Mauritania to Mali at GPS cordinates:
N 15 30 46
W 009 29
The border post on the Mauritanean side is called Medbougou (check spelling). A small outpost in the middle of the savannah. The Malian side is more developed with a heavily corrugated road / track from Nioro-Djema-Kolokani etc on to Bamaoko.
Its a rather out of the way border crossing but the savannah is beautiful and you can pick up the road (or what is left of it) at Tintane (or before)and drive West to Kiffa and on.
Makes a change from Nema.
