    • The salt ponds in Fachi are family owned operations that are passed from generation to generation. The salt from Bilma is consider of a higher quality but the ponds in Fachi are more photogenic.

    • The caravan season is between late Sept to late Dec with most around Nov, Oct. They travel between Bilma and Agadez or some towns north of Agadez. You'll need a guide and your own vehicle to get to them. Pick a year when the rains are good and there are no problems like locusts and rebellions - the caravans will be larger and more plentiful.

    • Djado plateau is a area north of Chirfa in the northeastern part of the country. There are some dramatic weathered, sandstone formations. Volcanic rocks in some locations are eroded into various shapes resembling dark folded paper.

    • You'll see enough sand in Niger to last you a life time. Get a workout climbing one. Some of the bigger ones are in Arakao and Chiriet.
