Africa's Wild Wonders

The savannah's changing seasons are a spectacle to witness. Here the seasons rise and fall in a cycle as old as time where the dry dusty land gives way to plentiful lushness. We witness these seasons from the inhabitants who live here, the baboons, elephants and predators in one of Africa's most famous wild spaces, the Kruger National Park.

Viewed by most of the world as opportunistic scavengers, Hyenas are actually one of Africa's top predators who are more successful at killing than lions! They are one of natures most amazing animals with a complex social structure where the top animal is actually the alpha female!

Nothing says Africa like herd of elephants roaming across the plains! This episode is all about the many! Magnificent elephants in one of nature's largest natural places. We spend time with them as these social animals eat, fight, search for and find water. A beautiful space with nature's gentle giants.

Baboons are one of Africa's most adaptive animals and this episode shows us their versatility as we see them in all of Africa's seasons. Freezing in the rains, cooling off from the heat by swimming in crocodile infested rivers, foraging in the cool shady vales and playing, always finding time to play!

Africa's top predator is the wild dog. Related to the wolf these carnivores are celebrated in this ep-isode as we look at their highly social behaviour in one of Africa's wildest and most predator dense areas, the Kruger National Park. Here up to 8 packs of wild dogs stick to their different territories or home ranges while hunting at dawn and dusk to keep their numbers strong.

The lions of Africa are the survivors of this harsh land. We take a look at the family structure and the deep bonds that develop between members of a pride. A very different episode as we take a beautiful and gentle look at Africa's most iconic animal.

Africa's birds are a spectacle in their own right. From the large marabou storks, vultures and os-triches that scour the savannah, to bird life at the water with herons, ducks, plovers, we spend time absorbing the uniqueness of Africa's many birds of the bushveld.

This episode focuses on the marine birds who swim through bracingly cold Atlantic currents like gannets and penguins to the beautiful oystercatchers and gulls tenaciously collecting at the ocean's edge.

We all tend to focus on Africa's predators and less so on the prey. Impala are plentiful as the "McDonalds" of the savannah! But here we look at their family structure, eating habits and territo-rial fighting or rutting in one of Africa's biggest national parks with the highest numbers of Impalas... and Lions!

Africa's largest antelope are revered by the bushman as soulful and elegant carriers of the spirit. Here we observe this in spectacularly varied national parks across Southern Africa who are all home to these large herbivores.

The horse of Africa, in a place of browns and greens, these black and white wonders are special. We look at their social structure and how their stripes add beauty to one of the planet's most iconic places.

Nothing says animal of the ages quite like these prehistoric looking beasts. In this episode we cel-ebrate the beauty, (yes, there is beauty to a rhino!) of these magnificent and iconic animals of Afri-ca.

Massive herds of Buffalo cover the thick acacia scrub of the bushveld and their randomness is ac-tually planned. With pathfinders and matriarchal subsets controlled by bulls, there is a sophisti-cated social structure to these animals. Feared by many predators but loved just as equally for their taste, this episode explores the complex hierarchy of Buffalo life.

Elegance and gentleness are all associated with giraffes. This episode focuses on their adaptabil-ity to desert conditions as well as thick savannah bushveld in various biomes across Africa.

Water horse of Africa's rivers, also known as Africa's most dangerous animal, hippos spend their days in water, but the little known night life of a hippo is charming! One of the world's largest ani-mals that lives in both land and water.They spend the cooler evening hours traversing the country-side for their favourite morsel, the sausage from the sausage tree.

Africa's bushpig may be nothing pretty to look at! But these ugly beasts are adapted survivors to Africa's harsh environs. From their unpleasant-looking tusks to their stubby flat-plate noses to their padded knees, these little hardy animals are amazing to study further and this episode show she wonder behind these little battle tanks!

Wild spaces not only means wild animals live here but also wild or indigenous trees are vital for a fully functioning eco-system.

Africa is a place of wonder and beauty, as well as desolation and bleak harshness. This is a cele-bration of this contrasting continent. Incredible timelapses, passage of time matchframes and icon-ic imagery of the animals who inhabit these lands make up this spectacular episode.

The sun brings with it hope and new energy for the day ahead, and nowhere is this more true than in Africa. For many predators it signals the end of nightime dominion. Tortoises, birds, spiders and insects like dung beetles welcome first light along with the the plains animals to start their food gathering anew.

Africa's stealthy predator. Alone but silent and deadly. It is also undoubtedly, Africa's most beauti-ful predator. Patterns moving in and out of shadows this episode looks at the camouflaging suc-cess of the spotted solitary stalker in one of the most prolific wildlife areas of the world.

Out here, space is not a premium... it's a way of life.Animals roam large areas looking for food, steering clear of predators and finding companions. But as large as these areas are... there are boundaries, imaginary lines drawn not between different species but between each other. In this episode we take a look at these invisible borders.

It doesn't get any cuter than this fluffy, furry, funny episode! Cubs, puppies and lambs make this a gorgeous exploration of the wildest but sweetest animals on the toughest continent on earth! Spend time with them before they toughen up for the life ahead...

Spring in the desert can be a beautiful sight, but very few places on earth are as spectacular as spring in the Namaqualand. World famous for its spring flowers, home also to the elusive caracal and scrub hare this is a spectacle of an episode. Breathtaking timelapses, stunning scenics and HDR landscapes provide a feast for the eyes as this dramatic desert of Africa comes alive.

Africa's last wild places still have the luxury of rivers flowing through them. This episode looks at the life-giving waters that flow into dry, desolate areas once the rains come. Hippos, crocodiles, terrapins and birds rely on these small and large rivers to live.
