Ticket for expidition
Hello, I am Eugene from Paris. I started my month long African expedition with Niamey. I bought a ticket to Niamey and flew directly from Paris to Niamey. My ticket thankfully had a direct flight. I loved the country drives and the beautiful animals. I got to see giraffes, scenic sunsets and many other animals. Because I am French, i had no problems communicating with the locals. The restaurants there were very lavish and I enjoyed excellent food. I also visited the local marches , my favorite being the Grande Marche. Overall it was a good experience and I am glad the first African city I bought a ticket for was Niamey.
Solo ticket to Niamey
Hey this is Katherine. I bought a solo ticket to Niamey for summer. My friends and family were worried about my safety. I was however not worried but rather very excited. Niamey was a very safe city. I just had to take a few precautions such as not being out too late and being aware of my surroundings. I am used to doing this in my home city anyway. I like to be in control of the situation and aware of what is going on around me. The people of Niamey were very friendly and I felt like I was in a big village, connected to everyone. I stayed in the Niger Luxe Hotel where i not only enjoyed a perfect blend of luxury and authentic Niamey experience.
