Air France has about 42 flights leaving for Paris, all from London Heathrow Airport. Of the many flight services, Air France 1681 (AF 1681) is preferred by Chad travelling tourists because it makes the shortest layover before the next connecting flight. AF 1681 is scheduled to fly every day at 9:00 AM from London and lands at 11:15 AM at Charles De Gaul after a 1 hour and 15 minutes journey. The connecting flight to N’Djamena from Paris departs at 1:20 PM, only on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Mondays (seasonal). This flight has the flight number AF 878 and remains airborne for five and a half hours before finally landing at N’Djamena International at 5:40 PM.

N'Djamena International Airport (NDJ) is the only international airport and primary gateway to the country. The airport located on the southeastern edge of Chad, quite near to the Cameroonian border. The airport is under both civilian and military use, with the military half occupied by the French and Chadian Air Force. From the Palais du 15 Janvier, which is at the centre of the city, the airport is only 6 kilometres away. By car, you can get to the downtown area in about 10 minutes. There are other critical domestic airports in Chad that include Moundou Airport and Abéché Airport.

The best time to visit Chad is in December and January. During these months the average temperature remains at a pleasant 25°C, and the highest temperatures also do not exceed the 32°C limit. It gives the tourist enough time and the perfect weather conditions to explore and find out the mysteries of Chad. No rainy thundering clouds are hovering over the country either in December and January.

Chad is among the few destinations in the world where the cheapest time to come to the country is also the best time weather-wise. Being a Muslim majority country in central Africa, Chad does not massively celebrate the Christmas season. This cultural difference allows tourists from the west to experience something new and vibrant during this time of the year. Tourism-wise, the busiest time of the year is from July to October, but it is also the same time the wet season approaches. This weather pattern is called the ‘intertropical front’ that graces the southern part of Chad with abundant greenery. But as the clouds lose moisture travelling north, little to no rain reaches the Saharan desert half of the country.

Chad is known as the “Heart of Africa”. This landlocked country captivates senses and introduces the raw and untamed African wilderness to the tourists, who seldom visit this part of the continent. Be a little young at heart and visit the natural landmarks and wonders of Chad.

• Emi Koussi is an extinct volcano in northern Chad. Steam vents and lava domes are still littered across the barren yet awe-inspiring surface, even though lava stopped flowing from this massive volcano millions of years ago.
• Chad National Museum in N’Djamena is one of the best places in the country to visit if you are a history buff. The museum contains Chad’s historical artefacts from millions of years ago.
• Zakouma National Park is Chad’s oldest national nature reserve, and it was established in 1963. The park has the largest elephant herds in Africa. There are numerous leopards, buffalos, lions, antelopes and giraffe in the nature reserve. .

There are not many five star hotels in Chad. There are a few posh hotels in the capital, N’Djamena. The rest of the country has three-star hotels that are more than adequate for the nature lovers and backpackers, who visit Chad’s rugged north or the lush green south-east.
