Gouré (DRZG) - Diffa (DRZF).
Niger.
Flight No. 031.
Roads Used: Route Nationale 1 (Gouré - Diffa).
1. Gouré - Kilakina: After spending the night at Gouré Airfield we finally got to see the actual town (1) before turning southeast towards the regional border, passing Bala (2) and other settlements (3) along the way before arriving in Kilakila, the last village in Zinder Region. Leaving it behind we crossed the border to Diffa Region (4).
2. Kilakina - Mainé-Soroa: Now we entered perhaps the most colourful region I’ve ever seen during this World Trip - Diffa Region! We visited Goudoumaria (5), Garin Malam (6), Kilakam (7) and Tacha Rogo (8) before arriving in Mainé-Soroa (9) a border town to Nigeria.
3. Mainé-Soroa - Diffa: During the third and last part of this flight we followed simultaneously the RN1, the Nigerien-Nigerian border and the Komadugu Yobe River to the northeast towards Diffa (10 & 11). Passing the village communities of Gremadi, Gagamari and Chétimari (12) as well as Kourou Saleri (13) we made it to our destination and our last stop in Niger in about an hour of total flight time!
