trip to Niger
I'm travelling from Spain to Niger by land during next June. It seems from the books (West Africa rough guide, Sahara Overland) that it is possible to obtain visas for Mauritania and Mali in Rabat or Nouakchott (for Mali), but I did not read that it was possible to obtain visa to Niger. Does anybody know if it is possible to obtain it or I should get it from the Niger Paris embassy. Thanks and congratulations for the web site.

Juan,
by 'next June' do you mean in 4 weeks time?!
We'll be in Niger in July (having come down from Libya-Algeria). What are you doing after Niger?!
Sam.

Sam,
I will be working in Niamey at least for the next 8 months (until
February 2001). I will be based in an agricultural research center.
Before leaving by car I am flying to Niger next week and coming
back at the end of the month. After that my friend in Spain will
hopefully have the car ready to cross the sahara from the second
week of June onwards. We plan to go through Marocco,
Mauritania, Mali. We feel the algerien route is a little dodgy, at
least starting from Spain. And also we are not experienced with
desert travelling.
If you arrive to Niamey in July we'll probably be there. My telephone
number there will be Tel +227 72 25 29 / 72 27 25. This email will
also be available. If you need any more information on Niger, I'll
probably be more informed at the end of this month. Nice to meet
you and have an enjoyable trip.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
