Overview
Country Overview
Chad is situated in central Africa, bounded by Libya, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, the Central African Republic and Sudan. The topography ranges from equatorial forests to the driest of deserts.
N'Djaména, Chad's capital is slowly regaining its pre-war reputation as one of Central Africa's liveliest cities. Bullet holes in buildings serve as a reminder of troubled times, but the atmosphere here is increasingly upbeat. The historic quarter, with its colourful daily market, is fascinating and a good place to pick up colourful Chadian rugs and jewellery.
Zakouma National Park: This is located on an immense plain across which the Bahr Salamat and its tributaries flow from north to south. Here visitors may view what is left of the wildlife (the area has suffered greatly at the hands of poachers).
Lively dancing and music is to be found in the capital, where there are several nightclubs. Outside N'Djaména, nightlife is limited, although bars and open-air dancing can generally be found.
