  • 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.

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.
