Voice of Travelers to Chad
Very Hot Weather Condition
I booked an air ticket from Egypt Air from Cairo International Airport. It was pretty cheap and a short flight. Summer in Chad can be as hot as above 40 degrees Celsius. Under that harsh weather condition, I visited the Zakouma National Park which was very beautiful with the stunning terrain of the Sahara and the animal diversity. It was spectacular. The highest mountains in Sahara, the Tibesti Mountains had numbers of hard rock paintings and carvings. One tip for traveling to Chad is to avoid booking an air ticket in summer.
Entertaining Country
The visit to Chad was more than remarkable. I’ve booked my air ticket with Air France, and the trip was entertaining. The climate in Chad is warm and wet. So for people from Northern Europe and wishing to escape from the cold weather, Chad is the best place to visit. For history maniac like me, Sarh is a wonderful location to visit. Located on the Chari River, it was once occupied by French colonial Fort Archambault. There, I got to learn and see historical stories and landmarks. Additionally, Chad holds a lot of music concerts and festivals where music lovers would love. Many things in Chad should keep all visitors entertained.
The Beautiful Sahara Desert in Chad
I went to Faya-Largeau, which is one of the largest cities in northern Chad. I’ve booked my air ticket to Chad through Air France from Charles de Gaulle Airport. It was less than 5 hours of flight. My local guide has arranged the rental of a 4 by 4 Jeep to go to Faya-Largeau. The heat was tough, and the temperature was almost 40 degrees Celsius. The Sahara desert was burning hot but actually amazing. I am sure that we will visit here again soon! I love Chad!!! If you are looking for some adventures, book an air ticket as soon as possible for cheaper one and come to Chad!
