Bodou Sailay

Bodou Sailay lies in the Lake Chad country, near settlements on the lake's northern side. The shallow lake changes greatly with its water level, leaving a landscape of islands and marshes where sand ridges rise above the water. This country formed part of the wider sphere of Kanem, whose rulers held court east of the lake before the Sayfawa dynasty moved its centre to Bornu in the fourteenth century.

The later city of Bol lies here.
