Niger tailor-made holiday ideas

The River Niger
Flowing for over 500 kilometres through the country, this mighty waterway is one of landlocked Niger's few bodies of water and a major transport route.

Parc National du 'W'
Part of a reserve that spreads into Burkina Faso and Benin, named after the double u-bend in the River Niger. It may not have the same profusion of animals as parts of southern or eastern Africa, but visitors can still spot a large variety of species and many aquatic birds, particularly between the months of February and May. Keep your eyes peeled for herds of elephant in the Tapoa valley area and buffalo on the wooded savannah. Various species of antelope, baboon, warthog and hippo are common, while lions and leopards are also known to roam the national park.

Agadez
Beautiful old Tuareg stronghold in the heart of the Nigérian Sahara, and historically a key stop-off on the trans-Saharan trading routes. While some Tuareg tribes continue to work the traditional camel caravan routes to the Bilma salt mines, others have been forced to seek employment in towns. The region's festivals are also a highlight.

Niamey
Cosmopolitan capital, which draws an intriguing mix of local and regional traders, together with international aid and business workers. It has some pleasant gardens and bustling markets - the Grand Marché is one of the biggest in the Sahel. For a timeless spectacle, catch a pirogue and watch the sparkling sunset over the River Niger.
