From UK 2 Timbuktu Overland 2008
Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world.
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before.
Let your soul take you where you long to be...
Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar,
and you'll live as you've never lived before.

from here 2 Timbuktu is a series of journeys to far and distant communities in the Sahara and around west Africa.
Join me for:
Overland adventures to remote destinations,
Faraway festivals and tribal trips,
Saharan safaris and nomadic wanderings,
River cruises and gorilla treks,
Mountain climbing and beach lounging.
Dare to go where there is no path
Towards the light, the sun and the music.
Here are the people in all their colours,
Tam-tam, kora, electric guitar
Describing your way
To the singing dancing heart of humanity.
Come back to Africa
Bosom to the human spirit,
Home to the nomadic shadow
Stretching back over Saharan sands
Beneath a timeless African sky.
WARNING: Trips To Africa Seriously Harm Your Desire To Go Home!

Dear Guy,
Thank you for a wonderful exciting and unique journey in Mali. It was not only the “sights” we saw but the opportunity to see the lives of families and especially their children in their surroundings following their own way of life - not at all a show put on for tourists. I loved their friendliness and smiling faces towards us as we travelled. The Dogon valley and its people were especially of interest and I’d like to learn more about their history and culture. The first camp site on the Niger gets into my list of the 6 best camp sites in the world.. Many many thanks for an amazing journey.

Thanks From Here 2 Timbuktu for a unique and unforgettable experience! I loved that wild chase across the desert, the colour & life of the markets, the fabulous "biblical" scenes of robes, donkeys, sheep, goats, the spectacular geological formations of the Hombori mountains and the Bandiagara Cliffs, the amazing architecture of mud mosques, straw houses, flat-roofed houses, granaries etc etc Thanks for making all that accessible.
