Top Things to do, See and Visit in Niger

Africa, Blog - GoroadTrip - November 19, 2018

Niger top attractions

There are many places to visit in Niger. Cultural sites that reflect the traditions of desert empires, as well as wild and natural beauty, will make lovers of sub-Saharan culture thrilled. The mountain ranges offer a magnificent view of the volcanic mountains. You will discover cemeteries of Gadafawa dinosaurs and many paintings. The region of Timia, meanwhile, has craters of volcanoes and beautiful waterfalls. It is possible to hike and trek in the mountains.

Niger Delta

Nigeria is crossed by two major rivers, Niger to the west and its tributary, Benoue to the east. The coast is covered with lagoons and mangroves. But the beauty of the landscape is especially visible when entering the land. Forests, mountains, savannah and the nearby Sahelian desert create the geographical diversity of Nigeria. A must see among Niger top attractions is the Niger Delta.

It’s a fascinating and magical place. A visit is required in the many traditional villages of the delta. If you only have to visit one city, it will be Kano. It is the oldest city in West Africa. Lovers of history and architectural heritage will be delighted.

Mandara Mountains

To the east stands the Mandara Mountains which is among Niger top attractions. This site is ideal for hiking. From Gwosa, 70 miles from Maiduguri, you can make a beautiful hike in the mountains of volcanic origin. You can observe species of butterflies and monkeys that cannot be seen anywhere else. We advise you to leave early in the morning and return late to avoid heat during the day.

Olumo Rock

The Olumo rock has long served as a rock and fortress for the inhabitants of Egby Land since the 19th century. In Olumo Rock you can visit places of interest such as natural tunnels, unusual trees, natural supports, rock gardens, broken roads, rock settlements of early settlements, three escalators at rock level and atmospheric view of the ancient city of Abeokuta, from the top of the rock.

There is also an elevator available, in case you want to easily climb to the top of the rock, even if it is expensive. From the top of the rock there are panoramic views of other monuments of Abeokuty, such as the first church in Nigeria, the central mosque, the Ogu river and the family house of the late Mossad Abbey. Hotels in Abeokuta, a short drive from the rocks, include the Gateway Hotel and the Olumo Guest House.

Kainji National Park

The Kainji Lake National Park is one of the largest parks in Nigeria and one of Niger top attractions. The combination of the Zugurma and Borgue reserves created a park in 1979, with an area of 5,340 km².

It is one of the gems of the interior of Nigeria and contains many Nigerian resources of flora and fauna. The park is home to many wild species such as elephants, lions, buffalos, antelopes, hunting dogs, hippos, legs, monkeys, lions, pythons, crocodiles, leopards, hyenas and many more.

Art and Culture of Nigeria

The seat of many civilizations, Nigeria has the richest culture in West Africa. 2000 years old, the Nigerian culture is famous for its wooden carvings (masks, fetishes) that the different ethnic groups still use today in traditional rituals and plays. Nigerians have also developed different musical styles from traditional Yoruba singing and free jazz, giving birth to afro-reggae and afro-beat.
