Mopti Transport

Getting there & away

Bus & bush taxi

Although some buses continue as far as (and originate in) Mopti, Sévaré is now the main transport hub for the region. Bâchés (US$0.40) and Peugeot taxis (US$0.50) cover the 12km between Mopti and Sévaré between 7am and 8pm daily.

To Timbuktu (US$27, 12 hours on a good day), 4WDs leave most days from behind the bâché gare. It’s a hard journey.

Air

CAM (243 1261) and MAE (679 4979; off Ave de l’Indépendance) each have at least two flights a week to Timbuktu (US$78) and Bamako (US$104). CAM also has one flight per week to Gao (US$153, via Timbuktu). A private taxi from Mopti to the airport in Sévaré costs at least US$10.80.
