Just...Thanks for the info here! Was super-useful. <br /><br />Just wanted to report that I did the same drive from Goudiri in Senegal to Cool Camp in Manantaly just a few days ago. AND - excitingly - the road has been newly paved the whole way from Kayes to Manantaly. It was the best road we've been on since Morocco, and meant that we got to Manantaly by around 4pm (we also got out of the border around 10:45am), even after some fucking around in Kayes trying to work out just how bad the road was. You do need to take the ferry across to Bafoulabe (it runs in daylight hours), then drive a few km to Mahina and drive across a rail bridge (which the locals say is normal), but other than that it's just great road the whole way. (The ferry and bridge mean that Google Maps hasn't yet caught up, so won't give you these directions, but that's the route we took.) <br /><br />The first 100km on the way from Manantaly towards Bamako is still not paved, but it wasn't awful, so overall it seems that Cool Camp is much more accessible now than it was at the beginning of last year!Dan Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13968417197214872451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245305960860799380.post-71046270312445018422017-03-10T14:21:43.337-08:002017-03-10T14:21:43.337-08:00I used to live in Kedougou and Kenieba. That drive...I used to live in Kedougou and Kenieba. That drive to Bamako is a killer. It took us 12 hours on average, and one time our headlights went out, so we drove the rest of the way hanging out the window with maglights.Lord Palarioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03007819375404118501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245305960860799380.post-70080473339896102922016-03-23T06:21:57.271-07:002016-03-23T06:21:57.271-07:00Do you subscribe to any other websites about this?...Do you subscribe to any other websites about this?
