Series from 1999
Set in the three regions of Botswana, this trilogy includes fascinating behaviour and beautiful scenery from areas rarely seen on film.
The Makgadikgadi basin is all that remains of a great, ancient lake, one of the largest in Africa. Over the millennia the lake disappeared until all that was left were vast salt pans and grassy plains.
The endless, flat horizon of the Kalahari is broken in the east of Botswana by a range of rocky hills. The largest range is known as Tswapong and is home to the spirits of the ancestors of the Batswana people, the Badimo.
A day in the life of Chief's Island witnesses timeless encounters as predators pursue prey and each other in a unique habitat of desert sands, water lily lagoons, floodplains, open grasslands and palms.
