Wild South Africa

The Wild in South Africa on the Small Screen in September.

Nowhere else can you find heat and cold, desert and tropics, Africa and the Antarctic altogether in a single country: South Africa – as diverse as an entire continent! Coming in September to National Geographic, the wild South Africa will be showcased on Sundays, 15:00 on National Geographic, in a 3 part series.

 

CLASH OF CURRENTS

Sunday 3 September 2017, 18h00

Nowhere else on earth do Africa and Antarctica so impressively come together as at South Africa’s Cape! It’s a place where cold-loving penguins live alongside desert-dwelling ostriches, and which is similarly home to surfing sea snails and live-bearing chameleons.

 

LAND OF THE GIANTS

Sunday 10 September, 18h00

From the savanna to the desert, the heart of South Africa is home to the most successful hunters, extremely odd animals, and the setting for one of the most colorful natural spectacles on the planet! Far from the cape and coasts, and beyond the Drakensberg Mountains, lie vast semideserts and dry savannas – a world apart, fit for clever survivalists only!

 

KILLERS OF THE KALAHARI

Sunday 17 September, 18h00

Sunshine, sandy beaches and palm trees – not only does the Caribbean boast them, so too does South Africa’s East Coast. Here you are no longer privy to the rocky coastline of the Cape of Good Hope! It is hot and sticky all year round – the mangroves and the bayous in the east of the country present ideal conditions for strange frogs, mudskippers and enormous Nile crocodiles – still, occasionally it’s also too hot to handle, even for them!
