2. How risky is the part Tam. - Agadez, should we opt for a military escort from the border into Niger?
3. From Agadez we would like to visit the Air mountains, do we need a escort/guide (for security reasons)?
4. Where can I get digital versions of IGN maps?
Thanks in advance for the replies

1. You should have a tuareg guide only.
2. Tam - In Guezam 100 km off-road, not risky
In G - Assamaka soft sand and pist ride in the daytime
Assamaka - Arlit desert, no road, risky, riding with tuareg guide only. You can finde him in Assamaka. Do not go without guide.
Arlit - Agadez military escort, not every day.
Agadez - Niamey military escort
Niger is a very hard country, think twice again before going.
