Ennedi
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ennedi is famous for its rock towers and arches and quivering yellow sands.
Chad Holidays
One that you will find in few travel brochures. But don’t let that deter you – the rare endemic West African species of Zakouma National Park, combined with Ennedi’s spectacular geology, more than justify a visit.
Little visited, Chad has for too long been a blank on the map. We are delighted that this is no longer the case and we now offer both group trips and tailor-made itineraries to this wonderful country. Justin, our Managing Director, has travelled to Chad several times to see the incredible work that African Parks are doing in Zakouma.
Why we like Chad
We love Chad because it is little known and virtually unexplored (and thus also sadly misunderstood). We love the people – the nomads en route are a sight to behold – the animals and the incredible landscapes.
One of the best things about Chad is that you will mostly have the country to yourself. Travel brochures are not known for their restraint when it comes to effusive superlatives, but in Chad’s case, they would be valid.
Discover the Big Five at Zakouma National Park
Aside from its elephants and lions, Zakouma has big populations of Kordofan giraffes and West African savannah buffalos and a great variety of smaller cats. A particular highlight is the birdlife of Zakouma. It is definitely the safari destination for those who are looking for something beyond the infinity pool.

Zakouma’s Safari Chariots
“On a dusty morning on 13th April 2006, a heavily armoured convoy of Toyota Land Cruisers, converged on N’Djamena, the capital of Chad. These war chariots of the Third World, were top heavy with truck-mounted rocket launchers and determined Nubian men, their faces covered with turbans. They billowed dust behind them as they sped towards the city.”

Illona Cross
Born in a small South African town, I have always followed my passion for nature and discovery. After studying Nature Conservation in Pretoria, I was one of the first women to complete a very tough cadetship in the Natal Parks Board. It was here where I cut my teeth in African wildlife management.
