Op Botswana se Linyanti-vlakte heers 'n groep broers onder die top roofdiere. Drie jagluiperds: vennote sedert geboorte, en een van die doeltreffendste jagkragte op die vlaktes. Hulle jag as 'n span, met Achilles voor, en Odin en Shiva wat hom aan weerskante flankeer. Die magtige trio het hul grondgebied vir meer as vyf jaar gehou, totdat eendag tragedie toeslaan. Achilles word deur 'n kobrabyt doodgemaak, wat Odin en Shiva vir die eerste keer in hul lewens laat om vir hulself te sorg. Met die krag van drie gebreekte moet hulle vinnig aanpas: leer om as 'n tweeling te jag en hul dood te verdedig sonder die hulp van Achilles. Hulle pogings verwar 'n magdom roofdiere wat opvang: 'n beseerde luiperd, 'n slinkse hiëna en 'n slinkse swartrugjakkals. Om sake te vererger, begin 'n eensame jagluiperdman op hul grond oortree. Soos die jagluiperd-broers hul krag en doeltreffendheid herwin, word die eensame mannetjie 'n groot bekommernis. Toe hulle hom uiteindelik in die hoek steek, breek 'n bose geveg uit. Maar dan vind 'n merkwaardige transformasie plaas – in plaas daarvan om die jagluiperd dood te maak, verdra hulle hom. Dag vir dag begin die vreemdelinge mekaar geleidelik aanvaar, totdat op ’n dag – teen alle kanse – die krag van drie na die Linyanti-vlakte teruggekeer word terwyl ’n nuwe koalisie van jagluiperds uiteindelik saam jag...

Set in the vast expanse of South Africa's Mala Mala game reserve, a host of Africa's biggest and fiercest wildlife species compete for food, mates and territory against the backdrop of a harsh dry season.
The world's tropical waters are inhabited by a fish that dwarfs all others, yet the tiniest creatures fuel it. The whale shark spends its life pursuing rich upwellings of microscopic plankton. Off the east coast of Africa, the warm currents of the Indian Ocean carry with them a seemingly infinite supply of food. Each year, with the onset of spring, the gentle giants leave the equatorial waters of Seychelles and follow these currents southwards, on a remarkable journey, unique in nature, thousands of miles along the ocean's highways. Our story follows one whale shark on its trip to the southernmost tip of the continent to unravel the mystery of the whale shark's incredible journey.
A haunting call echoes across the Liuwa Plain. There is no answer, there hasn't been for years. She has no pride, no support - she alone must safeguard her own survival. Her name is Lady Liuwa, and she is the Last Lioness.
Life is hard for inhabitants of Luangwa valley during the dry season with intense competition for food and water supplies dangerously low as well as outwitting their predators.
Charging Back is a dramatic and powerful mystery of the African rhinos' fight for survival.
The annual sardine migration up the eastern coast of South Africa creates a moving feast of billions of tiny fish for one of the most diverse shark populations on the planet.

Two of Africa's 'savannah giants'- one a predator and one a bovine are on a collision course of epic proportions. An injured buffalo is one of Africa's most dangerous animals but for the lions of the Savannah taking down buffalo is in their genes. One wrong move and the hunter could become the hunted- it's a constant war between predator and prey and every day is a continuous battle for survival out here in the African Savannah.
At Londolozi Game Reserve they experience a close interrelationship with the animals and this is the window which allows them into the secret life of the magnificent Leopard Lula.
On the northern bank of the Sand River in the Mala-Mala Game Reserve in South Africa, seven magnificent creatures reside in an area the size of Manhattan island. Over the next 24-hours, we’ll witness the Buffalo as a formidable, tough character that relies on teamwork to stay alive. The Lions’ strength lies in his physique and their tendency to hang together, while the Cheetah is the king of speed. The Rhino is an armoured knight that won’t back down. The Leopard relies on stealth and stays out of the way of its nemesis, the Hyena, who takes every opportunity as the master scavenger. The Elephant is the gentle giant that can and does rely on brute force when threatened.
Hyena: the great opportunist looks at this super predator's social life and hunting ways and explains why they have often been so wrongly perceived. The Spotted Hyena has managed to hold its own amongst a savage world of competitive predators- but how does it achieve such a high status? The answer lies in its adaptability, family structure, physiology, and opportunistic behaviour. Second, only to the lion, the hyena dominates all other predators out on the African plains- obtaining meat while the opportunity exists is this bear-like scavenger's top priority.

This is the story of a courageous little seal who braves the ocean and all its perils - a real adventurer at heart who leaves the colony to follow one of the greatest migrations on Earth - the Sardine Run. Each year millions upon millions of sardines leave the waters off the southern tip of Africa to move en masse up the east coast of South Africa. They follow the cool winter currents for almost 1000 kilometres. For the sardines it's a perilous journey - their migration awakens a great following of formidable predators that attack from sea and air. Huge flocks of Cape gannets pursue the great shoals while thousands of dolphins strike relentlessly from the surface and hundreds of sharks mount the attack from the depths. Among the predators, there are a few adventurous seals that join this frenzied journey. To this day, what makes a seal embark on the sardine run remains a mystery.
