Fed by underground water sources, the Ennedi massif is an incredible Eden in the middle of the Chadian desert. Above all, it is the last refuge for a dozen crocodiles: their ancestors were trapped there when the water disappeared, more than 4,000 years ago, but managed to survive in pools of water called "guelta"! Hubert Gillet, a professor at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, explored this lost paradise in the late 1950s. For more than 10 years, he traveled on camels through these mysterious and difficult-to-access mountains, discovering "unique flora and fauna, the relics of a tropical golden age that had survived in the depths of the Saharan desert."
