Worth knowing about Mopti
- Mopti Airport is not in Mopti. It sits at Sevare, and the two are joined by a 12 km elevated causeway across the floodplain, so landing is not the same as arriving.
- Sevare, not Mopti, is the town on Route Nationale 16, the bitumen road running from Bamako in the west to Gao in the east. The airport and the long distance road traffic are both on that side of the causeway.
- River boats run by COMANAV between Koulikoro and Gao, a 1,308 km route carrying passengers and cargo, only operate from August to December, when the Niger is deep enough. Outside that window the alternative is a privately run pinasse.
- Mopti Airport has a 2,542 m asphalt runway and is listed as public and military; Sky Mali is the airline named as serving it, to Bamako and Timbuktu.
