One visit to W-Parc is recommended if you have the time. The Park is spread across the countries of Benin, Burkina & Niger and has a span of 2500 sq Km. It takes around 1.5 hrs to drive down to the park from Niamey. The Park gets its name as it is in the shape of a "W", hence W-Park. We visited the park during Jan, the best you can do is to spent a night inside the Park, there is a camping site and it is an enjoyable experience. The next day early in the morning you can go for a boat ride and then proceed for the safari. The animals are hard to find but the experience is worth a visit, if lucky you would get to see the Elephants, Wild Buffaloes, Antelopes and Lion (We never saw one ).The part of 'W' National Park that lies in Niger is situated in a transition zone between savannah and forest lands and represents important ecosystem characteristics of the West African Woodlands/Savannah.

The Saharan sun takes it toll, and cooling off in a pool is a fantastic remedy for heat stroke. The Grand hotel in Niamey charges CFA 2000 for pool-use, and you get a beautiful view of the Niger river from above. They close very late, so you can chill out with a beer at dusk, and watch the bats come out. The Gaweye hotel pool is much bigger and nicer, and for a CFA 2200 you get to swim in the pool and watch the Niger close up, but youl get kicked out at around 6pm. Beware, tho, the beer is insanely expensive at both hotels! Leave a Comment

On the way up the river we sat on the boat, with little space to move, but the exitement and the sight from the boat were just beautiful. Watching the people washing clothes and other things in the brown river. Seeing the marks that hippopotamus leaves, knowing that they are the animals that cause most deaths in Africa. Seeing the birdlife and nature, the river was full of live. Address: Start in Niamey and go up the Niger river.
