Niger

The sub-Saharan landscape of Niger is characterized by deserts, sand dunes, uplands and hills, as both the Sahel and Saraha Deserts dominate the region. In the lower part of the country 2% of the land is covered with forests and woodlands. The third longest river in Africa, the Niger River, runs in a crescent from the Guinea Highlands through Mali, and makes up part of the Benin-Niger border. It is Niger's lowest point at 656 ft (200 m).
