Spanning much of Namibia’s west coast lies the oldest desert on earth – the Namib. Very few people have been lucky enough to cross this enormous sea of sand, and together with their expert guide, Luca and Melua set off on a week-long adventure across this magnificent desert. Just getting there takes days, and their journey is as exciting as the destination. Finally, they lay eyes on the massive expanse of sand, and it’s time to explore the Namib! The towering dunes and fossilized rock formations may seem hostile and lifeless but do not be fooled; there is an abundance of life just waiting to be discovered. As they travel west towards the Atlantic Ocean, they sift through the remains of diamond mining ghost towns, now slowly surrendering to the power of the elements. At the same time, shipwrecks loom like slumbering giants in the mist - both blown in from a restless ocean. Here they follow the endless beaches, passing the largest colonies of seals in the world until the desert finally runs out of sand.

Africa's Super Seven
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.
Catching Giants
200km from the southernmost point of Africa, where the water is chilly and harsh, runs the Breede River. Recently, reports have been made of a massive creature living in the river. Fish are being taken off fisherman's lines - but with a curious and sickening twist. Only the bodies are taken: the heads are being left intact. The picture that sends aquatic ecologist Andy Coetzee off on the quest shows the head of large kob that has clearly had its body ripped off by something even larger. With shark hunter and expert fisherman Hennie Papenfuss at his side, Andy sets out to discover the truth behind the tales and exactly what the monster could be. Following the science and the rumours, this dramatic aquatic adventure joins Andy on a journey that follows the coastline of South Africa from north to south, and the sharks who are in turn following the fish.
