Transport

 

Cars in Niger tend to be French (Peugot and Citroen) and Mercedes Benz. Virtually all of them are imported as used cars from Europe, some maybe more "legal" than others. The Nigerien climate is hard on cars, the heat and especially sand play havoc on engines. Mechanics a very resourceful at repairing cars, especially French ones. If you are traveling in an American car, forget it. There are no parts to be hard, and the locals don't know how to work on them.
