“Table manners are out. Follow Africa's five mega-predators as they struggle for survival in a cruel season of deprivation on South Africa's Mala Mala Reserve”To survive they must compete for the same resources using every physical and psychological weapon in their respective arsenals. Who will emerge as top predator? What will it take to survive?

Review:
“Watching these two episodes set my hairs on end. Incredible filming, lots of it close-up. I love the scene where a huge group of vultures steal a carcass from two cheetahs! A true ‘predators apocalypse’ with buffalo, impala and kudu being pursued relentlessly by lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs and wild dogs.”
