Niger
Niger is one of the world's largest countries by area, yet most of it is Sahara and Sahel — ochre dunes shifting into sparse savanna as you move south. The Niger River cuts through the southwest, sustaining agriculture and the bulk of the population. Life here is shaped by heat, seasonal rains, and the rhythms of pastoralist and farming communities.
