Hi,
I got my Mauri visa within a day in Rabat.
I applied on Oct 8 at about 9.30 am and collected my passport at 2 pm the same day.

thanks Borneoman! Jim, looking forward to your report as well.
Chris, indeed we will see how we fare after getting to Tidjikja. Thanks for the link to the track logs. I had found that before and Google translate helps... good thing coords are universal!
Regarding GPS coords for the route to Tichit/Oualata, are yours from page 485 of Sahara Overland still good? I would assume so. I haven't found any others. I do have the IGN 200k maps as well.
As an aside, just found out that World Nomads has pulled insurance coverage for Mali. Not sure what prompted that - looking at options.

Hi Rick,

thanks Ferdi!
What type of vehicle were you in? Any issues/concerns along the way?
I tried to find the GPS coords from the infolink you provided but could not find them. Do you know of another source?
cheers, Rick

There is allways the alternative Tidjikja, Kiffa, Tintane, Nema.
Both ar on the T4A map, no idea how actual they are.
We have been there in 2009, didn't record any of it at that time......

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
