Zinder
The maze of tight-knit lanes and hidden streets weave and wind to form the hard-to-navigate heart of Zinder. Meanwhile, the Sultan’s Palace towers over the town with its great adobe architectural achievements. And that’s not even mentioning the bustling bazaar, which stretches as far as the eye can see – it’s easy to believe it was once one of the busiest camel caravan stops on the trans-Saharan route! Yep, Zinder comes top for many reasons: its rich history of French rule, tribal culture and trading; its mercantile energy; its sheer, raw African beauty.
