How Safe Is Niger for Travel?

Full safety review:


Niger, also colloquially referred to as the Heart of Darkness is a landlocked country in Africa with a population of about 16 million.

It shares its borders with Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria, Chad, and Libya.

Like many of African country, Niger is also a former colony: it was under the French until it gained independence in 1960.

Most of the country is covered in desert plains and dunes, with rolling savanna in the southeast.

Overall, Niger isn’t a safe country to visit. With its political turmoil and UN labeling it the major drug smuggling port, violent and petty crime on the streets, there are lots to think about when planning a trip to Niger.

La vie au bord du fleuve du Niger

Le Fleuve Niger

L'existence du Niger était connue depuis l'Antiquité, mais son cours n'a été reconnu qu'au XIXe siècle ; sa source fut découverte en 1879.Troisième fleuve d'Afrique, après le Nil et le Congo, par sa longueur et la surface de son bassin (4 200 km ; plus de deux millions de kilomètres carrés), le Niger est de loin le fleuve le plus puissant d'Afrique occidentale ; il traverse quatre pays, son cours et ses affluents intéressent huit pays. L'énergie et les possibilités de mise en valeur qu'il représente font l'objet de timides tentatives d'exploitation. Les grands travaux d'aménagement sont peu nombreux et affectent des surfaces limitées où la population est encore peu importante. Leur rentabilité n'est pas assurée.Un bassin hydrographique immense, mais saharien pour une grande part, le faible peuplement de la plupart des régions traversées, l'éloignement des centres actifs de l'Afrique occidentale sont les principales causes d'une sous-utilisation flagrante.Un cours et un régime variés Le Niger prend sa source à 800 m d'altitude, sur le versant nord de la Dorsale guinéenne. Il coule vers le nord-est, et se présente comme un torrent de montagne sur 250 km, jusqu'à son confluent avec le Milo.[...]

Niger Overland - Niamey to Parc W

Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, and this was apparent as we drove through Niger from Mali, following the Niger river.

We stayed in Niamey (the capital city of Niger) while applying for our visa to enter Chad and visiting Parc W, our first wildlife experience on our overland Africa journey driving from the UK to South Africa in our land rover Defender TDI.

What we didn't expect was to meet a group of French students in Parc W, and to be invited out to join them in their research of hippos. The motto of the story? Don't trust students!

Land Rover Africa Overland
--------------------------------------------
Twenty years ago my wife and I packed up our life in the UK and set off to drive overland in our Land Rover Defender with the aim of driving all the way to the Cape Town in South Africa, a journey which will take us from coast to coast along the length and breadth of Africa.

Because this journey was twenty years ago, there were no smartphones, no google maps, and no digital cameras. The photos taken on the journey were on transparencies, designed to be projected. I have taken photographs of some of those slides for the purpose of showing in this video.

Niger, du fleuve au désert

Sur un récit d'Alex Décotte, 55 photographies de Maximilien Bruggmann. Au départ de Niamey, elles permettent de pénétrer lentement dans le pays profond, ses témoignages d'un temps où le Sahara était vert, ses éleveurs nomades et ses ultimes caravaniers transportant le sel de Bilma à Agadez. Maximilien Bruggmann avait même photographié le fameux arbre du Ténéré, unique à 400 kilomètres à la ronde, renversé en 1973 par un camion libyen...

map of Niger

Niger or the Niger (/niːˈʒɛər/ or /ˈnaɪdʒər/; French: [niʒɛʁ]), officially the Republic of the Niger, (Hausa: Jamhuriyar Nijar, Zarma/Songhai: Nigér Laabo, Tamajaq: ⵜⴰⴶⴷⵓⴷⴰ ⵏ ⵏⵉⵌⵢⵔ, Arabic: جمهورية النيجر) is a landlocked country in West Africa named after the Niger River. Niger is a unitary state bordered by Libya to the northeast, Chad to the east, Nigeria to the south, Benin and Burkina Faso to the southwest, Mali to the west, and Algeria to the northwest. Niger covers a land area of almost 1,270,000 km2 (490,000 sq mi), making it the second-largest landlocked country in West Africa (behind Chad). Over 80% of its land area lies in the Sahara Desert. The country's predominantly Muslim population of about 22 million live mostly in clusters in the far south and west of the country. The capital and largest city is Niamey, located in Niger's southwest corner.

Niger is a developing country, which consistently ranks near the bottom in the United Nations' Human Development Index (HDI); it was ranked 187th of 188 countries for 2015 and 189th out of 189 countries in the 2018 and 2019 reports. Many of the non-desert portions of the country are threatened by periodic drought and desertification. The economy is concentrated around subsistence agriculture, with some export agriculture in the more fertile south, and export of raw materials, especially uranium ore. Niger faces serious challenges to development due to its landlocked position, desert terrain, inefficient agriculture, high fertility rates without birth control and resulting overpopulation, the poor educational level and poverty of its people, lack of infrastructure, poor healthcare, and environmental degradation.

Nigerien society reflects a diversity drawn from the long independent histories of its several ethnic groups and regions and their relatively short period living in a single state. Historically, what is now Niger has been on the fringes of several large states. Since independence, Nigeriens have lived under five constitutions and three periods of military rule. After the military coup in 2010, Niger became a democratic, multi-party state. A majority of the population lives in rural areas and has little access to advanced education. Niger is divided into 7 Regions and one capital district. These Regions are subdivided into 36 departments. The 36 Departments are currently broken down into Communes of varying types. As of 2006 there were 265 communes, including communes urbaines (Urban Communes: as subdivisions of major cities), communes rurales (Rural Communes), in sparsely populated areas and postes administratifs (Administrative Posts) for largely uninhabited desert areas or military zones.

Rural communes may contain official villages and settlements, while Urban Communes are divided into quarters. Niger subvisions were renamed in 2002, in the implementation of a decentralisation project, first begun in 1998. Previously, Niger was divided into 7 Departments, 36 Arrondissements, and Communes. These subdivisions were administered by officials appointed by the national government. These offices will be replaced in the future by democratically elected councils at each level.

The pre-2002 departments (renamed as regions) and capital district are:

Agadez Region
Diffa Region
Dosso Region
Maradi Region
Tahoua Region
Tillabéri Region
Zinder Region
Niamey (capital district)
