Nema - Timbouctou
As far as I know, there are no official borderposts between Nema and Timbuktu.
Depending on which route you'll take you can do the formalities in Nema or Oualata. On the Mali side you'll have to checkin at the first oportunity you'll reach.
enjoy

Hi,
as Bart says, you can do your formalities with the police in Nema in a building close to the barracks.
Customs and immigration on the Mali side can be done in Nara, where you may also buy insurance and possibly your first for a while!

Possibly you'll encounter a little fuss, but I doubt any real hassle. We passed through a couple of times and it was fine.
You might find the situation with checkpoints and authorities in Mauri and Mali a little 'entrepreneurial'. Just smile and politely refuse, hand over your papers and wait for them to let you go. They always will.

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.
