Consultancy & Special Projects Names & Rates per night Niger is one of the most fascinating countries of West Africa. Markets where cattle, camels and a range of other goods have been traded for centuries, are some of the most exciting in Africa. The Agadez region is renowned for its internationally famous Cure Salee. This intriguing festival is held in August or September after the rains, somewhere to the west of Agadze. Bororo males, of the nomadic Fula group, in a ceremony called the Gerewol, adorn and beautify themselves so that only the most obstinate female will refuse their advances. The virility test, the Soro is another story altogether. Read lots before you come and realize that it is very difficult for outsiders to witness these events. Niger suffers from one of the world's highest infant mortality rates. Roughly 25 percent of children under the age of two are malnourished.
