Natural Paradises of Africa
Season 1
Each of four episodes shows the sometimes ideal, sometimes excruciating natural conditions over the seasons for its spectacular wildlife, and interaction with tribal locals, in one of Africa's most remarkable regions. Those are an isolated part of the Serengeti, the Namib desert, the Okavango delta and the flood area of the mighty Zambezi.
Where to Watch Season 1
4 Episodes
- Ngorongoro: Born of FireE1
Ngorongoro: Born of FireTectonic and volcanic activity created the Great Serengeti Rift and the giant Ngorongo crater, which houses an isolated population of species such as wildebeest and lions which normally participate in the greatest land animals migration, but here are prone to excessive incest, especially since Maasai grazing grounds lock out wild relatives. Other lakes with peculiarities house or host such remarkable populations as most of the world's small flamingos. - Zambezi: Wild WaterE3
Zambezi: Wild WaterFor 2000 miles, the mighty Zambezi flows from the Zambian highlands trough Angola, Botwsana and Zimbabwe to Mocambique, to end in the Indian Ocean. Its immense water volume has a massive impact on wildlife in its huge flood areas and trough erosion reshapes its own bed, most spectacularly at the Victoria falls, the world's greatest waterfall. - Okavango: Water in the DesertE4
Okavango: Water in the DesertThe Okavango Delta, in northern Botswana, comprises various wetlands, some (river arms and marshes) deep enough for hippopotamuses to live in, many drying out many months, some barely seasonal waterholes. Many species (like buffalo) and people migrate in and out on the flood rhythm, while only the Bushmen survive all year in the neighboring Kalahari desert.
