Boat trip on the river Niger just upstream from Niamey. The river comes straight from North through the desert and is entering sahel here and will continue to flow south to the atlantic ocean. In the sahel he is an oasis similar to the river Nile in Egypt. Life is inside and some 50 meters on the riverside.
