Sahara's secret garden | SLICE | Full documentary
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.
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 traveled 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.
Documentary: “Sahara's secret garden”
Direction: Gauthier Flauder
Production: ZED & France Télévisions

Isn't the sahara far from Ghana?
A wonderful documentary that had a meditative quality about it. A stillness came over me watching the gentle rhythmic pace of man, animal and nature. The wonder of Africa and it's people.
Truly wonderful. Makes me think this kind of training is about 90 % of schooling that a child actually needs. Would like to see this same level of detail to record the lives of the women of these people. Thanks for great work.

A BIG thumbs up to the guys who made this truly amazing documentary just felt like I was there travelling with them the whole time.
What a beautiful documentary, thank you for the posting. It's glorious. I wonder how many boys in the west of the age of the lad in this story, would happily throw away their computers, toss away their mobile phones, abandon for ever computer games and the virtual world, to go and live like him, in quiet purity, with a herd of camels, in utter balance and harmony with everything that has real value on earth? And by the way, the solo singing of the man in this documentary is completely beautiful.
This is indeed a piece of paradise in the midst of a very harsh environment.

Paradise is in the afterlife, not in this world. Actually ,There is no mistake in The Quran but there is many mistakes in the Bible that the Quran mentions correctly such as the position of the leader in Egypt in the society of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph). The Quran mentions he was a king and the Bible mentions he was a pharaoh. The Quran is correct and more recently the Rosetta Stone was decoded and what was found is that leader was a king and not a pharaoh. Islam is The true religion with undeniable proof and evidence. We Muslims believe in Jesus but not as God and we don’t believe God has a son. Jesus peace be upon him is a prophet and Messenger Of Allah (God) and he is the messiah. He wasn’t killed as Allah saved him before they could get to him. There is also scientific and historical miracles mentioned in the Quran such as the formation of the human embryo as well as the creation of honey in bees. There are Islamic prophecies that came true and will come true and I recommend everyone to try and learn about them. I myself know of people who were ill and suffering with issues (including black magic) and got cured miraculously when the Quran was recited over them. I invite everyone to learn about Islam.
Watching this has actually been time well spent, what beautiful storytelling and beautiful videography. I love the slice channel, it’s the only enrichment on the tube
What a beautiful documentary like l have never seen before, everything looks so real, I feel like I want to live there too !! I had no idea crocodiles could survive in the desert !! Wonderful life , wonderful desert 🐪 !!! Loved seeing camels drinking water all together and was surprised how much water there is in such a dry place !! Love music too , so enchanting and mystic !!❤❤❤
Unbelievably beautiful and magnificent ! Those traveler's have done this for thousands of years. There is life in the Sahara and the 🏝️ 🏜️

So captivating, was the video from start to finish.. It is nearly 7 in the morning, and I am already late for bed.. A huge salute to Hubert Gillet, possibly the pioneer of the theory that the Sahara has not always been the way it has been, and that it has advanced.. Thanks a lot Slice, for bringing us this video!

Those sandstone labyrinth at 29:10 are both amazing and terrifying. You really have to know what you're doing to not get lost in there. This documentary has me completely fascinated with Chad. I really want to go there. EDIT: The only thing terrible about this documentary is that it had to end. One thing I would like to do before I depart this Earth is visit Chad. It looks incredible.

Similar cave drawings can be found in Wadi Rum, Jordan. It's more accessible from the famous movie made there Lawrence of the Arabian and Martians. The guides have 2 days package to show tourists the stunning 🏜.

Lovely, Thank you...
This is utterly exotic & rare natural beauty of the Sahara's secret garden, i.e., I usually associate the desert w/ interminable sand dune (when it comes to the deserts such as Sahara, Gobi, Taklamakan etc.), but this doc. pleasantly surprised me w/ that ineffable extreme & yet resplendent landscape w/ the one & only one spectacular sceneries, which differentiates itself from the other desert documentaries. Furthermore, people can survive w/ the minimal provision & of course water even in such harsh hostile & extreme place, that is simply amazing & mind-blowing!!! Many thanks.,,,,,(05/18/22)

All creatures great and small have a wonderful ability to adapt and pass on the to the next generation that which is needed for survival; Oh how special life can be when we can allow it to happen unimpeded or recklessly destroyed. Truly enjoyed this documentary thankyou to all involved.
Man, the echos in the canyon of the camels growling at 3:13 would be a bit intimidating if you didn't know what was making the sound.
Great content 👍
Such a fascinating and informative video. In the comments some have said why this video has not massive views? because it needs likes to go ahead in the algorithms, so just give it a like.

Truly a beautiful part of this planet. We are very fortunate to get a small glimpse of these Desert Springs beneath the Efendi massif. There is a longing in us to return to the essence of life, a force of nature that Man only plays a part of the cycle of life, not the dominant role. It is best we only dream of this place and never actually go there.
Very nice I love this kind of documentaries 🙏❤️
