Natural Paradises of Africa

Season 2

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.
