Kitty Baran06 Aug 2012: I've done solo backpacking trips in Central America. I met people from all over Europe and would travel with them for awhile and then would take off on my own. I had no hesitencies in bumming around the place, towns and forests on my own. Always alert, but I felt fairly safe. I'm thinking about going to Niger and the other countries in the area. Are there as many backpackers in this area and is female solo backpacker at too great a risk in the wilderness here?

Minette - OverlandingAfrica.com01 Aug 2011: Hi Terrica, during the months of June and July in Nigeria temperatures average in their early twenty degrees. As it is also the rainy season Nigeria can experience hail, sleet or snow during these months which will drop temperatures. Please contact the local weather service station in Nigeria for up to date information. Cheers!
Terrica31 Jul 2011: I met someone who said he was working constuction in Nigeria... it's July 31.. he says it is very cold there. Is it very cold there this time of year?
Tania - OverlandingAfrica.com16 Oct 2009: Hi Darla, Nigeria is pretty hot and humid most of the year but temperatures can differ depending on whether you are in the north or the south of the country. January is pretty dry with temps ranging from 23 to 30 most of the time and cooler at nights. Have fun!
