I agree with Chris on that, but if you are after ease and safety, definitely go down to Dakar vai St. Louis from Mauri and then take the tarred road (all the way, European standard) from Dakar to Kidira (Seneglaese border), easy, friendly, no hassles there, cross into Mali, then about 3 hours drive on a corrugated and potholes piste (in teh process of being tarred) and you are in Kayes. From there you go down in teh direction of Kenieba and turn off towards Mahina, from theer a perfect road to teh Manantali dam, from there a reasonable road to Kita and then an easy road to Bamako, can all be done in a Peugeot, except between June and October.
Have Fun,
Heye
