Exploring Ennedi: A Hidden Paradise in the Sahara | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOC

In the north of Chad, in the heart of the Sahara Desert, lies a forgotten mountain massif, which shelters, in its secret canyons, a flora and fauna of breathtaking beauty. Fed by underground streams, the Ennedi massif is a garden of Eden in the middle of the desert. It is also the last refuge for a dozen or so crocodiles. Their ancestors were trapped when the water disappeared, more than 4,000 years ago, and only survived thanks to the numerous basins called « gueltas »! In 1950, Hubert Gillet, a professor at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, began to explore this lost paradise. For more than a decade, he travelled through these mysterious mountains, on the back of a camel, discovering « a unique flora and fauna, relics of a golden age, which has survived in the depths of the Sahara Desert ». Even today, access to the Ennedi massif is difficult, and only a few rare nomads have been privileged enough to penetrate the heart of this astounding massif, sheltering the last witnesses of a vanished world: the Sahara, when it was a true garden of Eden...
