Niger

Entertainment in Niger

  1. A

    Stade de la Lutte Traditionelle

    You may be lucky enough to take in a traditional wrestling match at the Stade de la Lutte Traditionelle. We say lucky because they're quite the spectacle and only happen a handful of times a year. So keep your ear to the ground and you may just get - you guessed it - lucky!

    Guiguinya

    Belting out African and European beats, this massive place is usually packed with locals (and the odd prostitute). Tear it up beneath the strobing red lights or stick your feet in the sand and chill out under the stars and trees in the courtyard.

    La Cloche

    If you can get over the number of prostitutes and the glowing Christmas tree light-interior, this club (next to 2005) can be quite fun. There's a pool table and the music ranges from Arabic to Western.

    American Cultural Center

    Your only options for cinematic distraction are the American Cultural Center, which plays more mainstream Hollywood flicks, and the Centre Culturel Franco-Nigérien.

    2005

    Reverberating with Western and African tunes, this lively club was the best place to cut loose on the dance floor when we were in town.

    Galaxy

    For a more African experience, head to this bar perched on the river behind the Piscine Olympique D'Etat (Olympic swimming pool).

    Hi-Fi Club

    This place, which throws some reggae into the mix, can be hit or miss - have a peek inside before paying the cover.

    100% Night Club

    This new club is trying to emulate the success of club 2005 and its popularity is growing steadily.

    Maquis Konning

    This open-air bar has a great vibe and is a top spot to meet locals.
