David Attenborough's Africa

Deserts sit side-by-side in the southwest corner of Africa, and, in spite of the lack of water, they are teeming with life.

In the constantly changing climate of east Africa, creatures must be able to deal with unpredictable elements.

In Africa's rainforest, animals find ingenious ways to make a life in a claustrophobic, dangerous landscape.

Two ocean currents sweep around and shape the continent's Great Cape. Southern Africa is a riot of life and colour.

An exploration of the greatest desert on Earth, located in northern Africa. Mole rats avoid the heat by going underground and zebras battle for dwindling resources. Camels seek water, the sand dunes sing, and swallows navigate to an oasis.

David Attenborough comes face to face with a baby rhino and asks what the future holds for this little one. He meets the local people who are standing side-by-side with the wildlife at this pivotal moment in their history. We discover what it takes to save a species, hold back a desert and even resurrect an entire wilderness - revealing what the world was like before modern man.
