N’Djamena → Durbali → Gerewol festival → N’Djamena
Day 1: N’Djamena
Arrive in the capital of Chad today, and transfer to your hotel (Le Meridien Chari or similar). You can choose to stay here and rest up for the adventure ahead, or to head out and explore.
Day 2: Durbali
Drive across the Sahel to the Durbali region where the Gerewol festival is celebrated by the Wodaabe people. We’ll camp here overnight.
Day 3-7: Gerewol festival
We have five full days to experience the Gerewol festival – a celebration which has barely changed for centuries. The Wodaabe from across the Sahel region congregate in the area with their cattle for what could be described as a mass courtship ritual. Unusually, it is male beauty that is prized by the Wodaabe, and the young men wear traditional jewellery, feathers and make up before performing in front of the young women – a fascinating spectacle. There will be plenty of dancing and singing, and perhaps some camel racing, as well as plenty of time to meet local people and share stories with them about the culture and rituals. You can also head to one of the Sahel’s most important markets, in Durbali.
Day 8: N’Djamena
We return back to N’Djamena, where day use rooms are available to freshen up. After heading out to a restaurant for a final farewell dinner, transfer to the airport for your onward flight home.

Fue una muy buena experiencia, cumplieron bien con lo que ofrecieron y siempre estuvieron muy atentos a mis mensajes y necesidades. Seguro que volvere a contactar un viaje con World of Discoverys y recomendare a mis amigos para sus siguientes viajes.

Best Staff, Great Communication The communication and assistance from the Michael from the beginning, Alex during the pre-tour and post tour and Anna during the tour was better than exceptional; we were well taken care of. The staff truly cared about us having a memorable experience and their efforts greatly contributed to that happening. I’ll definitely be looking into their other tours.

The Formula 1 trip to Abu Dhabi with Wofdi was an amazing experience! Everything was perfectly planned, making the whole weekend stress-free and exciting. The Yas Marina Circuit looked incredible, and watching the race at sunset was really special. The atmosphere was electric, with fans from all over the world cheering for their favorite teams. One of the best parts was the pit lane walk, where we got to see the cars up close and watch the teams work. Wofdi made sure we had great access and an unforgettable experience. We also did a tour of the circuit, visiting the control room and even standing on the winner’s podium! Absolutely loved the time we spent in Abu Dhabi .From start to finish, Wofdi made this trip unforgettable. If you’re an F1 fan and want a hassle-free, VIP-style experience, I highly recommend booking with them!

Eurocup 2024 Germany - Finals & Semi-finals Excellent trip for our family of four (with two young boys - 12 and 14) to watch the two semifinals and finals of Eurocup 2024 in Munich, Dortmund, Cologne, and Berlin. WofDi organized the entire trip and provided white glove service from the minute we landed in and left from Germany. We were chaperoned throughout the trip by Mike, Varya, and their team, who took care of every detail. (Airport transfers, hotel stays, ICE train tickets, match tickets, unique curated city tours and events, daily WhatsApp communication) and were on-hand throughout to answer questions. We look forward to more sporting events and travel with WofDi.

We have just attended the Opening of Euro Cup 2024 in Munich and WofDi has given us a blast! Opted for an organized trip due to limited time we could spend in Germany and wanted to have it all arranged for us – accommodation, game tickets, transportation. WofDi polished the standard travel package with an awesome welcome party. Private lounge for our group in the famous Hofbräuhaus included great meals eat-all-you-can (and then eat more), unlimited bear (really unlimited), very good selection of wine, entertainment program and truly amazing hosts on site. With such a fantastic start, our experience continues with seamless transfers to/from the venue. 5-1 Germany vs Scotland as boring as never was the only thing which spoiled the night. Sadly, that was beyond WofDi’s control. Thank you for everything and looking forward to experience FIFA World Cup 2026 with you, guys.
