N'Djamena Walking Tour
N'Djamena, Chad
Why Walk N'Djamena
N'Djamena sits at the confluence of the Chari and Logone rivers, directly across from Kousseri in Cameroon. The city has a raw, frontier energy and serves as the gateway to some of Africa's most remote destinations — the Ennedi Plateau, Zakouma National Park, and the Tibesti Mountains. The Grand Marche is the commercial heart, while the National Museum houses remarkable Sao civilization artifacts.
