Obwohl René Caillié Denkwürdiges vollbracht hat, deckt sich sein Bild nicht unmittelbar mit den träumerisch-verklärten Vorstellungen, die wir uns gewöhnlich von bedeutenden Forschungsreisenden machen. Entgegen der Mehrzahl der wegweisenden Entdecker stammte Caillié aus der französischen Unterschicht und verfügte über keinerlei geographische oder militärische Ausbildung. Dennoch gelingt dem jungen Franzosen durch Zähigkeit und Willensstärke die Umsetzung jenes Vorhabens, an dem die großen geographischen Gesellschaften aus Paris und London kläglich scheiterten: Als Araber verkleidet, erreicht er beinahe mittellos und vollkommen auf sich allein gestellt am 20. April 1828 die sagenumwobene Oasenstadt Timbuktu.
