Travel - Internal Air At present, the only internal flights are chartered by private companies. Enquire at the Direction de la Promotion Touristique for further details; see Contact Addresses section. Road Travel by road outside N’Djamna is possible by 4-wheel-drive vehicle and permits are usually needed. Buses run fairly regularly to Sarh during the dry season. Security conditions and a lack of housing, food, petrol and vehicle repair facilities have resulted in the Government restricting travel, especially in the central and northern areas of the country. Petrol is expensive. Many roads urgently need repair, and are impassable during the rainy season, especially in the south. It is advised to travel in convoy, keep doors locked, carry spare fuel and supplies, and not travel after dark, due to the potential for highway bandits. Traffic drives on the right. For travel to all areas outside N'Djamna, authorisation from the Ministry of the Interior is required, which is usually granted without difficulty after a few days. Documentation: International Driving Permit required for car hire (which is expensive) as well as an official autorisation de circuler. Urban The city of N’Djamna has an adequate road system and there are limited self-drive and chauffeured car hire facilities. Minibuses and taxis operate in N’Djamna, with a flat fare charged. A 10 per cent tip is expected by taxi drivers. |
