Backpacking or travelling in Chad?

  • Well, Chad? Maybe you've never heard of it and accidentally clicked on this page, but if you're ready to say goodbye to comfort and hello to adventure, then read on. In Chad you'll find sublime oases, lots of wildlife, colourful people, the beautiful Lake Chad, but also chaos and insecurity and you'll have to deal with corruption and lots of poverty.
  • Activities spotting: spot animals in Zakouma National Park; admire Lake Chad while you still can (it's slowly disappearing); discover the ancient rock paintings in the Ennedi desert; spot birds at Lake Fitri; sandboard in the Sahara; visit traditional villages.
  • Animal spotting: elephants, crocodiles, giraffes, antelopes, lions, ostriches, hyenas.
  • Food spotting: la boule, jarret de boeuf, lake Chad fish, karkanji, tea!

Internships in Chad?

  • There are few options. If you would like to go there, look for international aid organizations and NGOs.

Volunteering in Chad?

  • Volunteering in Chad is quite a challenge due to the unstable situation in the country. It is therefore not very safe and there are therefore few options to be found. There are opportunities with international aid organizations in the field of health care and community support, but take your own safety into account.

Working in Chad?

  • The country is mainly dependent on agriculture, mining and oil. The best chance of finding a job is as a specialist in the latter sector - for example as an engineer, manager, IT specialist, geologist etc. You may also be able to work for international aid organizations, but this is often voluntary.
  • Make sure you speak French or Arabic.

Working as a digital nomad in Chad?

  • As one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, we don't think it's a suitable country for digital nomads.

Living in Chad?

  • Living in Chad, a country with one of the lowest life expectancies in the world, is a big change and challenge. It's not the first place (and maybe the last) you would think of, but the country certainly has some nice things to offer. The capital N'Djamena is the best place to stay.
  • Education: there are opportunities for international education in the capital.
  • Expat community: there are few expats in Chad, so it's hard to find much social and international activity.
  • Safety: Chad is an unstable country and there are multiple safety risks. So read up on this carefully.
  • Health insurance: healthcare facilities are not good and medical evacuation may be necessary, so make sure you have your own health insurance with good coverage.
