Overview

Chad

One of the most eye-catching deserts in the world, Tibesti's beauty is curtained by the political turmoil in Chad. Even today, you need authorisation to move about; this authorisation is issued by the Chadian authorities. Its landlocked nature is an economic handicap; Chad is over 930 miles from the nearest port (Douala in Cameroon). The monuments in the capital Ndjamena suffered during the war, but its historic area is worth visiting. A virtually inaccessible country that will fascinate adventurers and buccaneers.

pros

  •  Tibesti is a lunar-decorat desert dotted with prehistoric remnants.
  •  This totally enclaved country breathes something special.

cons

  •  Political tensions are often extremely violent.
  •  The road and hotel infrastructure are often poor

Chad Chad, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

Get registered at the police station within 72 hours of your arrival in Chad. If you intend to leave Ndjamena and walk around the country, you'll need a permit issued by the Interior Minister. Beware, this can take quite some time! You'll also need an authorisation from the Ministry of Information to take snapshots; this however does not grant you the right to take snapshots randomly, especially snapshots of administrative buildings. Show respect to those you meet: dress decently and avoid consuming alcohol in muslim neighbourhoods and villages. Observe safety instructions!
