Barbecue by Niger River

Take a break from the hurly burly dust and heat of Niamey to relax with landscapes and vistas out of another planet, as if transplanted from Mars. We relax for a BBQ and party alongside the Niger River with a backdrop of sweeping sand dunes and natural springs. A local community with village tourism programs keeps watch and security, and we provide a whole lamb roast, traditional Niger style, with rice and salads, and cold beers, cokes, and whiskey. Play on the dunes or just laugh and enjoy the outdoors.
