- The Southern of Niger is the least dry national part of the territory and includes mainly trays with a lot of sands. - The Air, in the Western North of the country, is a set of high crystalline and volcanics massifs appearing from an ancient base. -The Ténéré constitutes the biggest part of the North East of the country. It's a sandy plain which finishes in the East by the cliff of Kanouar, Djado and Mangueni. The Niger, is the third river of Africa and it crosses the country. These affluents such as Tapoa, Mékrou and Sirba go throw itself into lakes, rivers and ponds : The lake Chad, Komadougou Yobé… The official language is the French but we can find many dialects and the most present are Haoussas (49,6%) and Zarma (20.8%). The Niger will offer us cultural, fauna and landscapes diversities. From the Sand dunes of Tera to the multitude of volcanos of Ouallam cross by the Niger river, this country is really superb!
