Africa’s Wild Oasis - Region 2 DVD

“In all of Africa, there is no other place like the Okavango Delta, a watery refuge in the heart of one of the world’s greatest deserts”

In the midst of the dry season, floodwaters from Angola can double the delta size to some 5,000 square miles – half the size of Wales – spreading like a giant hand across Botswana.

Water defines this unique place, often deciding who will survive and who will perish. Cheetahs and wild dogs rule the savannah, while hippos and crocodiles reign in the swamp.

Each day brings a new drama to this incredible cast of wildlife characters.  The slow-moving pangolin survives in the face of raging fires. Desperate catfish actually try to walk away from their shrinking pools.

Survival can be as simple as an elephant shaking a tree for palm nuts, or as complex as a pack of wild dogs stalking and overpowering a lechwe.

Fire and flooding define this special place in a timeless cycle that can only be witnessed inOkavango: Africa’s Wild Oasis.

EXCLUSIVE: this DVD also contains an exclusive, 26 mins long bonus film, A Passion for Africa, produced for National Geographic by acclaimed filmmakers Beverly and Dereck Joubert, who live and work in the African wilderness, while making wildlife films that capture the continent’s stark beauty and drama.

Review:

“I have visited Southern Africa almost every year during the past 20 years. During that time I have had the opportunity to visit Botswana several times, and have been to the Okavango Delta several times. I have experienced the beauty of the sunsets, and the magic of the African night, the roar of the lion and the grunt of the hippo, the crystal-clear water of the channels, the excitement of tracking elephant on foot through the shallows and in the papyrus grass. The quality and excitement of Tim Liversedge’s filmography is so appealing, the script so compelling, and James Coburn’s reading so engaging, I felt I was back there in the magic of Africa’s Wild Oasis. If you care at all about wildlife, and about nature... you MUST own this.”
