What is your expected departure and arrival dates?
We leave the UK on 7th October and will probably be in Morocco from about the 16th October. Plan to arrive in Ghana around the 1st December

Hi there,
I have just returned from Mauri and Mali - last week in fact (1st Nov 2007). We went in really crap cars some as old as 20-25 years. We had no visas and certainly no carnet. We had absolutely no trouble at all at any of the borders. There is always some conflict in interesting countries - use common sense, relax and enjoy - you are in Africa :-). We paid for temporary 'import' of the vehicles in all the countries we went through Morocco/Mauri and Mali. This was never more than 10 euros. In Mauri we had to pay to exit the country which was weird (3000 Ouiga - or whatever the local currency is) one of our group didn't have the cash so gave the guy a jerry can full of diesel as payment - sweet....
Mali is a fantastic country - very laid back etc. If you are going to take 'gifts' try give them to schools in Mali instead of Mauri - kids in Mauri threw stones at us, but Mali people are amazing and very friendly and helpful - they deserve it more than the Mauri's in my view.
Have a ball.
We met a guy on Triumph who burnt his clutch out in Dakhla, and a local mechanic 'made' him a replacement one which worked a treat - yup made him one!!!! go bush-mechanics go
Cheers
Andrew
