The best accommodations Sahel

About 7 km from the city, in the oasis of the same name, you can find on a small dune a campsite with the original architecture. This camp managed by ONTB is unfortunately still not fully functional in 2009. The staff, a bit sorry by the situation, remains friendly. Some travellers still spend their nights sleeping on the beautiful star. At the bottom of the small dune, a botanical garden and a nursery. An address to monitor.

Superb camp located in a large sandy courtyard on the outskirts of Markoye. The bougainvillea punctuate the courtyard and the frame is sublime, inviting to walk. The rooms are clean and well decorated. It is also possible to spend the night with the beautiful star. In addition, the camp places its local guides at the disposal of travellers to discover Markoye and its surroundings, but also the rest of the Sahel: Oursi, Bani, Gangani (a traditional Bella village on the Beli) and beyond borders, Mali and Niger. The cottage also offers slug strolls and initiation courses to the bronze technique. Finally, a little more valuable, the cottage is associated with the Friends of the Sahel, whose actions support the maternity and school of the village. During our investigation at the beginning of 2009, we were unable to visit the camp.

A long building in a large land courtyard houses a dozen rooms with a very high level of comfort. The common toilets and showers, dirty in our passage, lie on the bottom of the corridor.
