Chad Holidays - Natural World Safaris

Why Safaris to Chad are Truly Unique

Chad may not be the first location that springs to mind when you plan your travel bucket list, but the wild experiences this remote destination offers are unparalleled. Unlike some other African safari destinations, Chad remains relatively untouched and a safari venturing into the rugged Zakouma National Park is truly unique. From arriving by light aircraft and seeing wildlife as you travel, to fly camping next to a waterhole and witnessing hundreds of bird species, you will enjoy intimate wildlife encounters throughout.

Zakouma National Park has a healthy population of lions giving you high chances of up-close sightings.
