A trip to Niger essentially begins in the city of Niamey. Stop by the National Museum and take a glimpse into the rich and storied history. Also, be sure to watch the weekly local music and art festivals. One of the best ways to explore the city is to rent a canoe and cruise down the Niger River. For tourists, Niger’s cultural festivities are some of the most fascinating in the whole of Africa. Just south of Niamey lies the W National Park, spanning over 2,000 kilometers. This is where you’ll start your safari adventures. Explore the dense forests and enjoy spotting an incredible variety of wildlife, including giraffes, antelopes, hippos, elephants, and buffaloes. For accommodation, you can bunk up in a bungalow-style hotel that will offer air-conditioning, a bar, and pool. Niger is specially tailored for those interested in the African safari! |
