Very interesting place - A very unique and special place which gave me a glimpse of a very different ethnic group. The English of my guide was very good and I gained a lot of background information.

Great way to see a different side of Chad - The Gauoi village is about an hour outside N'Djamena, and provides a great way to see a small Chadian village. The village produces pottery and has items for purchase (thought the focus certainly isn't on the small tourism industry in Chad- pottery is more for residents). Communication with the tour company was great, and they made the experience enjoyable and educational.

Easy little day trip - A modest little trip, just out of town into a what feels like a typical if well-established village. The little museum and old architecture is funky and a good reminder of the development of a rich civilisation prior to colonialism. But it's only a couple of buildings. Walking around the village is fun. The women make household and decorative pottery which you are welcomed in to see being made and can buy. Be ready for everyone to ask for a little tip, even though Eyte has already paid whatever is strictly required. So, good to bring along i) some small change (lots of 500 XAF notes), ii) some water to drink, and iii) hand sanitizer. Eyte themselves were excellent. Good communication starting from the day before. On time, decent 4WD vehicle. Knew well the people and the area, and a lot else about Chad. Just made things easy and safe.
