Hi!
I've just come back from Mali/Burkina. I've made Bamako-Kita-Mahina-Kenieba-Satadougou (Faleme ford)-Kedougou route with pleasure and easy. I possess some GPS waypoints if anybody is interested. Bridges are OK for heavy trucks as they are flat, there are no barriers on both sides. Villigers seems to be used to 4x4, no problem.
Quintin!
I've made Dogonland according your tips heading Bandiagara from Douentza. You were right: the closer to Sanga the villiges are stamped down. We managed to overnight in small village at the beginning of the cliff; was beautiful, we met Chef du Village and we took part in ritual Dogon dancing with drums.
Regards
Danek

Hi Danek
Glad you had a good trip and so pleased my tips worked out for you. What was the name of the village you stayed in the Pays Dogon?
Thanks also for the information about the bridges etc. I would really appreciate your GPS co-ordinates if you have a moment as the ones I have aren't up to date. Which route did you take from NKT?
My e-mail is qte at btinternet.com I'd love to hear more about your experiences.
Best wishes Q

Just wondering if anyone had a more up to date experience of this road? The main road from Kayes to Bamako is apparently unsafe due to current conflict.
Debating this road or Koundara to Labe in Guinea. Not hugely experienced and looking to take the less challenging of these two roads!

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.
