Internet coverage in northern and central Mali, including historic cities like Timbuktu (Tombouctou) and Gao, can be limited and variable. While EastESIM ensures strong 4G/LTE connectivity in the capital Bamako and southern regions like Sikasso, signals become less consistent as you venture north. You may experience slower speeds or intermittent service in these areas. We advise managing expectations and downloading offline maps or content before traveling to these more remote and challenging regions.
