Chad is one of the Saharan African countries. It borders Libya to the south, Niger and Cameroon to the east, the Central African Republic to the north, and Sudan to the west. Chad is also a country that boasts of having some wonderful places to visit, and these are some of them.
1.) N’Djamena
The war has reduced the vitality of this largest city in Chad, and after the war, Chad tries to regain its reputation as one of the liveliest cities in Africa. Here in N’Djamena, you can still see buildings full of bullet holes, but despite this, there is still a lively atmosphere as you tour its historic neighborhoods, as well as its market. You can also visit its National Museum to see wonderful artifacts from the Sarh culture.
2.) Zakouma National Park
This is a national park where you can also see the Bahr Salamat and its branches as they run across the plains. During the war, this national park lost most of its wildlife due to poaching and the effects of the civil war. But now, the Chadian government has reintroduced the animals, making the park what it was, full of wildlife.
3.) Lake Chad
This is a historic site as it was once the center of the salt trade industry in Africa. But now, it is shrinking rapidly and there are fewer animals around the lake. But still, this is a good place to visit, and it is best to visit this lake between August and December, when it is at its best, and you can see a lone hippo or lone crocodile swimming around.
4.) Sarh
This is the second largest city in Chad. Its main source of income is through its sugar cane and cotton plantations. What you can see and enjoy here is its national museum and the Artisan Center where you can also buy some of your souvenirs to take home.
5.) Moundou
Recognized as the third largest city in the country, it becomes more popular thanks to Gala Brewery. You can visit the brewery for a tour and taste some of the most delicious beers in Chad. But you have to prepare for about a day to get to this place.
