Absolutely Nowhere in CHAD
Only some 400 tourists visit Chad each year. If you want to step out of your life and disappear into a vast, stunning and varied landscape; if youd have a keen sense of adventure; don't mind 130 degree heat midday or winds blowing dust through your tent at night, then Chad is the place to go. This huge landlocked country covers 495,753 square miles. If the human population is approximately ten million, the cattle and camel population seems triple that number. Part one of thios clip features our vans traveling through the landscape, touching the Sahel, savannah, desert and Ennedi region. Part two highlights the pulse of Chad - its people, wildlife, rivers and markets. Timeless, colorful and dare I say quirky, I have never experienced anything like this place.

North Africa: The Daughter Of a Sultan Ties The Knot
It's a joyous time - but what are all these guns? And where's the bride?
It’s not just any wedding – the daughter of a sultan is getting married! The entire town turns out to celebrate. But why all the soldiers? It turns out the groom is a general’s son.
But the real preparations started weeks ago. Several dozen members of the bride’s extended family arrived from the capital of Chad to help. Piles of raw ingredients were delivered, and they began to prepare a feast. Huge pots of assorted meats, and gifts – the host’s reputation will depend on how much money he spends. Luckily for him, this is a Muslim country, so technically he doesn’t have to spring for alcohol.
The bride herself is nowhere to be seen. She’s off getting scrubbed and bathed and covered in scented oils.
Just as the celebration begins, it starts to rain.
For most of the women, this is their one chance to wear their fanciest clothes and high heel shoes, henna their hands, and don every accessory they own.
The groom arrives three hours late, does several victory laps, and hands out a lot of cash.
At last, the bride is here! She’s covered from head to toe – the only thing you can see is her fingers, snapping to the music. She must be a little overwhelmed – she’s just fifteen.
