W National Park is a trans-border park, with the most important areas in Southwestern Niger, around a meander in the River Niger shaped like the letter W.
The closest international airport is in Niamey, two hours away from the main entrance (Tapoa Gate). Several direct flights to Niamey operate weekly from Europe, North Africa, and other major African cities.
