Weather Stories and Reviews from Our Team/Clients in Niger

Niger is an amazing place! It’s full of ancient wonders and culture, but one thing that really stands out for me is its weather.

It’s hot and dry here year-round, with temperatures in the high 30s during the day and dropping to around 20 at night. The air is filled with dust from the Sahara desert which gives it a unique taste – almost like sandpaper! But this doesn’t stop people from enjoying outdoor activities such as exploring local markets or visiting historical sites.

The sun rises early in Niger so I wake up before dawn to take advantage of cooler mornings
