From Here to Timbuktu – how do I get there?

First, your picture shows the Great Mosque of Djenne, which is not in Timbuktu but in the city of Djenne, also in Mali but a good 500 km away.

At any rate, pretty much the only sensible route for access to Timbuktu is to fly from Vancouver to Paris (seasonal direct flights on Air Transat, otherwise you’ll need to transit in Toronto/Montreal), from there to Bamako, and then to Timbuktu. Given its location smack dab in the middle of the Sahara, getting there overland will cost you way more. You could conceivably do the last leg from Bamako to Timbuktu on local transport, but it’s a long, long way on really, really bad roads. And of course this all assumes the rebellion is sorted out.
