CLIMATE NIGER : Located in one of the hottest and sunniest regions of the Earth, Niger has a mainly desert climate and extremely dry. It has three distinct climatic regimes : the Saharan arid north regime, the regime of Sahel- tropical transition in the region of the Air and the Sahelian regime south.

Unpasteurized milk should be boiled, and it is best to avoid consuming dairy products.
