The Okavango River, a wildlife paradise with unparalleled and rebellious biodiversity

Despite its 1700 km length, the Okavango is a river that never reaches the sea. After tumbling down the hills of Angola and crossing Namibia, it ends its course in the Kalahari Desert. Here, the Okavango loses itself in a thousand meanders and canals, transforming this arid land into a teeming paradise where crocodiles, hippos and elephants testify to a biodiversity unique in the world, where wildlife explodes.

These giants travel throughout all parts of the world and traverse all continents. Every documentary of this series, filmed in HD, leads us to discover one of these immense rivers. This is a journey through the most spectacular sites of our planet. It is about meeting the people who live in these places and who devote themselves to their protection on a daily basis.
