Stay : Timbuktu the mythical
Just as inescapable as the Dogon Country, the city of the 333 saints is a landlocked city, difficult to access and strongly advised against by the authorities. The best way to get there is therefore to take domestic flights, or to rent a 4x4 from Mopti. This tour is based on a basic duration, that is to say, without the incidents likely to occur in this type of course

Visit of Tuareg camps north of Timbuktu. The discovery of dunes extending to infinity and caravans of nomadic nomads is fascinating.
