Comments: I watched the three part series, not this edited version

Starting each segment with a snippet from Marilyn Manson's cover of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" pumped me every time, but it sets the scene up very inappropriately

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

I've watched most every doc the Jouberts have made. Some of them are brutal, and would be very well served by the Manson cut, but this is one of their gentle, family friendly ones. It's a love poem to the place they have lived and filmed for 30 or 40 years

It's beautifully shot, very intimate, and dare I say quite arty. Like shooting a zebra crossing reflected in a giant raindrop hanging from a twig

More power to the Jouberts. They've done outstanding work for a long time. I’m just not interested in bugs and birds and fish and meerkats. I want nothing but Big Cats. YMMV. This is educational and gorgeous, and the Okavango Delta in Botswana is an amazing place. Termites are primarily responsible for the way the delta is formed. Boo Ya!


Summary: 1 Paradise - 2 Limbo - 3 Inferno
Experience the wildlife of the Okavango Delta, an oasis and lush paradise in Botswana, Southern Africa that connects a wide variety of creatures.


S01E01 Paradise

Explore the landscape and wildlife of the Upper Okavango River. A lioness severely injured by a buffalo is left for dead by her pride. Now handicapped, she has to survive in the swamp alone, hunting to feed her little cubs

S01E02 Limbo

Delve into the landscape and wildlife of the “Middle World,” the delta of the Okavango River. A hyena and a warthog family share neighboring dens, helping each other by keeping an eye on threatening predators such as lions and leopards.

S01E03 Inferno

Discover the landscape and wildlife of the Lower Okavango River, where the land is baked dry by the scorching sun. Large herds of zebra and wildebeest migrate to the dry plains in search of the precious salt that these animals need.
