N’Djamena, Chad’s capital is located near the natural border with Cameroon and strategically located at where the Chari River and Logone River Converge. The city was founded as a colonial outpost in 1900 by the French and was known under the name Fort-Lamy and has meanwhile grown to a metropolis with over 1.5 million inhabitants. N’Djamena today pulses with energy: colorful markets overflow with spices and handmade crafts, minarets and church spires stand side by side, and the warm hospitality of its diverse communities welcomes every visitor who crosses the rivers into this gateway to the Sahara and the heart of Africa.

Our three day discovery city tour to N’Djamena is perfect for travelers with limited time who want an authentic introduction to Chad’s capital before continuing their journey elsewhere in the Sahel. Our local travel agency can also assist with a legalised invitation letter to get your visa for Chad.

Chad e-visa and legalised invitation letter

It is now possible to apply for an e-visa for Chad or you can of course go to your nearest embassy, for both procedures you will need an invitation letter from a local tour operator from Chad. While our local agency offers free invitation letters for longer tours, we charge 199 usd per invitation letter per person for short tours (3 days to 4 days-. We only grant these for a complete three-day tour or longer which includes airport transfers and activities. It is not possible to get an invitation letter for a short tour with us and then continue your travel in Chad on your own, while under our invitation. This is considered visa fraud and any case will be communicated to immigration, who will immediately revoke your visa. Any requests for invitation letters for day tours will be ignored.
