Niger - cool looks - d.t. photo
1. Locals are friendly with the few tourists who dare visit this high-risk country
2. Riding a camel in the desert and understanding why camels are called the Ships of the Desert
3. Watching huge hippos wallowing in the Niger River
4. The only place in West and Central Africa where you can see giraffes
5. Hiking on the slopes of a rocky mountain deep inside the country and admiring the magnitude and incredible colors of the sand desert
6. The big market and the artisan market in Niamey – enjoyed bargaining and meeting helpful people
7. The locals seemed more reliable and genuine than those of many other visited African country
Niger - Niamey - Women sit all day at the gates of a charity office, hoping to get a ration of food. Unfortunately, most return home empty-handed and hungry. - t.r. photo
1. Suffering from the harsh heat
2. I read that Niamey is the world's dirtiest capital city, and I can now attest to that
3. Feeling very uncomfortable in the shared taxis (taxi brousses)
4. Many girls are forced into marriage when they’re still children (terrible!)
