Itinerary

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 1

Once your international flight arrives in Ndjamena, you are assisted, met and transferred to your hotel. There is a lot of choice, but for price and security reasons we preclude the Hilton in this selection.

Day 2

You will visit the Central Market, The Cathedral, and The Chad National Museum and view the valuable collection of the Sarh culture dating back to the 9th century. Also, you'll take a tour of the village of Gaoui; the former capital of Sao Civilization known for its traditional architecture and pottery. You will also have a dinner at a local restaurant.  

Day 3

We will drive you to the Lake Chad, en route to visit the rock elephants; a spectacular rock-forming elephant trunk. After your visit, you'll be transferred to the village Guitte where you will enjoy a cruise on Lake Chad. 

Day 4 - 5

In the morning you will depart to the Bahr El Ghazel, former bed of Lake Chad and head the nomads way to reach the dunes of Mao. The Kamembous, considered as the fierce warriors of the ancient empire of Kanem, coexist with Choua Arabs, kings of camels in the dunes of the more ancient basin of Lake Chad. 

You can also enjoy a camel and horse ride on the dunes for half of your day!
