N'Djamena Travel Safety Guide — Chad

Safety Score: 5/10 · Value: 8/10 · Beauty: 5/10

N'Djamena is the capital of Chad, a landlocked Sahelian nation spanning from the Sahara desert in the north to equatorial forest in the south. Chad has experienced repeated coups and civil conflict, most recently the death of President Idriss Déby in 2021 and transition to his son Mahamat. The country contains extraordinary natural diversity: the Tibesti Mountains, Lake Chad (once the 6th largest lake in the world, now shrunk to 10% of its 1960s size due to climate change and overuse), and Zakouma National Park, one of Africa's great conservation success stories where elephant populations have grown from 450 to 2,000+ under AWF management. N'Djamena itself is a functional Sahelian capital on the Chari River.
