When to visit

The best time to visit Chad is during the dry season from November to February when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for outdoor activities. The rainy season from June to September can make travel difficult due to flooded roads and heavy rainfall. It is important to check the weather forecast before planning your trip to Chad.

Getting around

Getting around Chad can be challenging as the infrastructure is limited outside of major cities. The most common modes of transportation are shared taxis, buses, and motorcycles. It is recommended to hire a local guide or driver if you are planning to explore remote areas or national parks. Domestic flights are also available for longer distances within the country.

Traveller tips

It is advisable to dress modestly and respect local customs and traditions while visiting Chad. Make sure to carry enough cash as credit cards are not widely accepted in the country. Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun as temperatures can be high, especially in the desert regions. Be cautious of wildlife and follow safety guidelines when visiting national parks. Always seek permission before taking photographs of locals.
