Backpacking or traveling in Niger?

Niger, a country in the middle of West Africa, not to be confused with Nigeria. It is a fascinating country for travelers who love desert, culture and adventure with unique landscapes from the vast Sahara to rocky mountains and the Niger River.
Be aware of the safety risks for this country.
Activities spotting: hike in the Aïr Mountains; camp in the Sahara; visit markets in the capital Niamey; go on safari in W National Park; discover culture and crafts in Zinder and Agadez; visit the “Festival of the Nomads” in the north; admire the sunset on the Niger River; go on a camel ride; discover ancient rock paintings.
Animals spotting: elephants, hippos, crocodiles, lions, giraffes, addax antelopes, birds of prey, scorpions, ostriches, Barbary macaques.

Studying in Niger?

It is not a popular study country and there are very limited choices.

Internships in Niger?

It is not easy to find internships in Niger. You may be able to try with international aid organizations with projects in the field of community development, agriculture and politics.
Competencies: dealing with challenging circumstances, French language skills, intercultural communication, dealing with conflict situations, development work.

Volunteering in Niger?

Volunteer projects usually focus on health care, education (including for women in nomadic families) and agriculture. The impact of volunteering can be significant in the villages and communities.

Working in Niger?

It is not easy to find a job in Niger as a foreigner. Your best chance is with international (development) organizations.

Working as a digital nomad in Niger?

Remote work is challenging due to limited internet outside the capitals and few coworking spaces. However, Niamey offers some digital access for online work.

Living in Niger?

Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, full of sand and desert and agriculture on the rest. It is not the easiest country to live in, but the friendly community and the contributions you can make more than make up for it (for some).
Education: in the capital you will find at least one international school.
Health insurance: the poverty is reflected in the quality of health care. So make sure you have your own good health insurance.

Niger: Updates & Travel

Travel in Niger

Niger is a country in Africa that borders Algeria, Libya, Chad, Nigeria, Benin, Burkina Faso and Mali. Niger has been independent from France since 1960. Niger is named after the river that flows through it. The capital Niamey is a great city to recover from the fatigue of the journey across the Sahara. Sit down with a nice beer in one of the restaurants by the river and watch the fantastic sunset pass by.
In the north you have Agadez, the once infamous and famous desert city where the caravans and today the trans-Sahara travelers used to stock up or sell their goods. On one of our trips through the Sahara we even managed to buy a pair of skis with ski boots to ski down the sand dunes.
The nearby Aïr mountains are among the world's most impressive mountain ranges.
In the west, you will find a few markets along the Niger where population groups such as the Hausa, the Djerma, the Fulani and the Tuaregs provide a colorful and fascinating spectacle.
Also try taking a boat trip on the Niger.
Naimey, the capital is the most lively city in Niger.
Pay a visit to Zinder, the old capital of Niger (until 1927) with a historic center with, among other things, the palace of the Sultan.
Go to Zarmas, a beautiful place with a beautiful palace.
Be prepared to face the poverty.
