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.
