Understand

The population of Chad is very heterogeneous. It is made up of hundreds of different tribal groups, so there is no "equal culture" in the country.

Climate

In summer, Chad has a warmer climate and in winter it is slightly milder. The temperatures of the rainy season remain around 30 - 35, but the relative humidity is almost 90 - 100% rh for the whole season. As you approach the rainy season, you will notice that the sandstorms are increasing. At first short-lived, but later they may last for a few hours. Often handsome lightning is associated with thunderstorms. In this case, you can see thousands of flashes per hour.

Come

By plane

• Air France has four flights a week to N’Djamena.

By bus

By train

• There are no railways in Chad

By road

• I recommend the Toyota Hilux or Land Cruiser because they are reliable and spare parts are probably best found.

There is a paved road east of N'Djamena about 400 to 500 kilometers across the state, so an off-road vehicle is a must.

• Otherwise, the options are local bus and truck transportation.

By boat

• There are extremely few inland waterways in the country, so there is little shipping.

Move

• Camels and donkeys offer the only methods of movement in addition to walking.

Talk

The official languages ​​of Chad are

• arabic and
• France.
• England is understood in the largest cities.

Buy

• All kinds of souvenirs can often be bought at the stalls for tourists at a really overpriced price.

Remember that bargaining is part of Chadian culture, and you can get the goods with you for as little as 10% of the original price. Compromise often takes up to half an hour. The result is improved by sometimes leaving the place and going to rub the shops again. It is worth competing with the sellers, because several sellers have the same stuff in the trade.

Eat

In Chad, rice is a common ingredient in almost every food. There are restaurants serving Chinese and French cuisine in the largest cities. Please note the following.

• Wash all fruits with clean water
• Only eat properly cooked food, unless you have a tin stomach that is not infected with stomach disease.

Juo

• Always bottled and clean water. The risk of getting dirty water is extreme.
• Alcohol is only sold in very few places. Often stores will mention "alimentation" and the image of the bottle.

Sleep

• Libya-hotel-Kempinski and
• Novotel offers quality accommodation with all your needs in N'Djamena.

Abeche offers accommodation services

• Auberge Cesar

Stay safe

Intermittent sandstorms can slow down travel plans. There are several rebel groups in the country that can be unpredictable for tourists.

Stay healthy

Be sure to drink plenty, up to 10 liters of water should be reserved per person per day, as the temperature can rise up to 45 degrees.

Respect

Women should cover their hair from the eyes of others. Friday is a holiday for Muslims. When going to a local residence, the door is not knocked, but hands are clapped as a sign of arrival. Always remember to talk to the oldest man first, after which you can talk to other people with his permission. Do not shake hands with women without men’s permission. Spitting is a very serious insult.

Take contact

Finns GSMphones work at least in the capital. Telia-Sonera is the safest. Mail is very slow. It can take more than three weeks for the card to arrive in Finland.
