Best Time to Visit Chad

The ideal window in which to visit Chad falls between December and April. By this time, the rainy season in the country’s southern and central regions comes to an end, and Zakouma National Park reopens its luxury Tinga and Salamat camps. For Zakouma visitors, the peak time within this dry season occurs from March until May, but the cooler months from December to February also offer their own unforgettable sightings.
