Chad TOURISM
Chad Tourism
Lake Chad: Once the centre of Africa’s
lucrative salt trade, it is now shrinking
(literally) and sparsely populated. The lake
is best seen during the August to December
period, when the water level is highest and
the occasional hippo or crocodile can be
seen drifting by.
Zakouma National Park: located on an
immense plain across which the Bahr
Salamat and its tributaries flow from North
to South.
Moundou: Chad’s up-and-coming city, due
to the oil rush from the Doba basin, is
known for its Gala Brewery, that produces
some of the best beer in the country.
Abéché: Lying 890km east of N’Djaména,
Abéché is surrounded by desert. Former
capital of the powerful Ouadaï sultanate,
the town has retained much of its oriental
charm with interesting mosques, cobbled
narrow streets and old markets.
Tibesti Mountains: Home of the fierce
Toubou tribe, this astonishing region of
chasms and crags has seldom been seen by
non-Muslims and remains closed to
travelers. The range is said to be home to
the best racing camels in the world.
