Congrats!!! Absolutely well done. I am really happy that all went Ok in N Chad - one of the most interesting spots on this planet, without a doubt!!!!

Yeppers, total envy all around. Someday..... ;)

PS - a measly 12 pics, ya gotta post some more m8!

Sorry, but I don't like taking pictures. The rest is even worse.

Do you fancy going back? And how would you do it then? And where would you go?
There's a special allure to Tibesti.

I like going back, but just to hang around in places like Zouar, Faya and Bardai, not for taking pictures. Wouls be great if it's possible to enter from Libya. Do not understand why the border is closed for tourists, espcially the main route between Kufra and Ounianga. Somebody has an idea?

Hi,

Is the route doable in a 7.5T overland truck?

Why not. Ten years ago I drove to Tibesti in a Mercedes 190. See: In a Mercedes through Chad Now I met some Chadians coming from Libya in a Toyota Yaris. In Tibesti you will have to fight big rocks, on the way going there soft sand. Maybe you will get stuck often, as I did in my Mercedes, but if you have time you will finally make it.

Well done
 

Well done, I wanted to go into the Tibesti in 2001, but went north through Sudan for different reasons. I am so impressed with this, and the colonel seems to be the way to get security. Well done and thanks for posting this.


As someone said above envious? Never.

Best wishes
Raf

Point Afrique has scheduled its first three flights from Paris to Chad (two on Ndjamena, one on Faya) for next month

The Point Afrique flights to Chad, and to Mauritania and Mali as well, have been canceled due to the killing of two French hostages.
