Kanem-Bornu Empire
Chad Basin National Park lies within the former Kanem-Bornu Empire, part of present-day Borno and Yobo states. Before the 10th century, the Empire was established and was one of the most politically well-organised African empires tantamount to the Mali and Songhai empires. The then Borno Empire developed within the Conventional Basin of Lake Chad, where the Chad Basin National Park stands.
