Adventure destination

Niger

Niger is better for desert expeditions and Sahara travel than for mountain trekking, with the Air Mountains giving the strongest adventure angle. Works well for travelers seeking remote overland desert journeys rather than hut-based or alpine travel.

Choose a region first, then browse the mountains, routes, adventures, accommodation, activities, and planning towns within it.
