Once Timbuktu was the seat of African civilisation and the world's richest city, romanticised by the great 16th century traveller Leo Africanus. Half a millennium later, guided by these famous writings, Nicholas Jubber set out in disguise on a journey with a nomadic caravan on a trek which crosses the Atlas Mountains, the Western Sahara and the Niger River, to uncover the mythic city, liberated after a full year under the black flag of Jihadis.
