THE Cure Salee (Woodaabe Gerewol) Festival (September 3rd Week of 2017 this year)

Please contact us with your specific wishes. We have decades of experience bringing tourists to witness these great events, and each group is different and has different needs.

Please be sure to contact us well in advance and book early, as area hotels typically sell out in advance. In lieu of a hotel we can always find you a homestay or village stay. Even catered camping has been used in the past to deal with overflow.

Please write to us and provide us your group size, ages, dietary preferences, flight information or intended flight information, and other concerns on our contact us page.

This year's 2017 "festival of the nomads" (Cure Salee) via Ingal will take place as usual in the Tahoua-Agadez desert axis, and has all of the usual dancing, beauty pageants, and music and festivities attracting tourists and journalists as well as some African diplomats and celebrities from around the continent.

*NTT's Package includes a program with Niamey and Agadez, and the Festival, all with hotel, and access to all of the festival and events!!! - Join Us!

Festival packages are booked here on this page. This is the program given to travel agents and tourists who inquire about joining the festival - It includes the best of the best use of your time and budget to experience Niger and the festival in one trip. 

*For FIT or custom requests for getting on your own to the festival and requesting NTT's assistance to set up your accommodations and entrance on site, contact us. It will be more expensive than this tour if you do so solo. We get people asking every year, and this is the case, every year. It is optimal to join this program and ask to stay longer in Agadez or Niamey instead if you want to spend more time.
