Niger River |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Africa’s Niger River begins in Guinea and flows about 4180 km (about 2600 mi) through the nations of Mali, Niger, and Nigeria, emptying into the Gulf of Guinea. The Benue River is the Niger’s chief tributary. Much of the Niger is navigable, making it useful for transportation of freight and passengers, as well as for fishing. | ||||||
