Tips & Warnings

  • Tourists to Chad are required to register with the Security Department in N'Djamena within 2 days of entry. You will need 2 passport-style photos, along with some confirmation from your hotel, like a stamped receipt.
  • French is the official language of Chad; so, you might want to learn a few basic phrases or bring a French-English dictionary along. The language barrier can be quite strong otherwise.
  • Air Tourmai Chad does not currently offer online booking or a booking phone number.
  • Book your vacation online to take advantage of package deals on items like hotels, rental cars and even tickets to attractions.
  • Malaria and other tropical diseases are prevalent in Chad, as well as in the other central African nations that Toumai Air Chad flies to. It's important to get all appropriate vaccinations at least one month before arriving in Africa. Also, bring plenty of malaria tablets.

on 5/10/2008 The first bullet under Tips & Warnings for traveling in Chad (concerning registration with the Security Department in N'Djamena) is incorrect. As listed on http://www.chadnow.com/chad_travel/chad_documentation_advice.html , travelers have three days to register at the police station. And, you will also need three passport photos, not two. I would recommend checking Chad NOW (www.chadnow.com) for more detailed and updated advice.
