Here's what we know.

Two Zambian safari resorts will get the HGTV treatment in Renovation Wild , premiering Monday, May 15 at 9|8c . Set amongst the extraordinary surroundings of the majestic Lower Zambezi National Park, the eight-episode series will chronicle the incredible journey of resort owners, Grant and Lynsey Cumings , and their children as they work arm-in-arm with their right-hand man and project manager, Ngoli, and resort manager, Juliet, to take on the challenges of renovating in a remote locale. Throughout the season, they'll face an array of logistical nightmares including monsoon season, extreme supply chain issues and countless exotic wildlife encounters that threaten to halt their plans to upgrade their resort in the middle of the African bush.

"There's nothing more challenging than creating beauty when Mother Nature seems to be out to get you with every move you make," says Grant. "I was born here in Zambia, our safari lodges are here and we're raising our family here, so everything is on the line. And it's survival of the fittest out there."

In the first episode, the Cumings family will start renovating their most dilapidated villas first at Old Mondoro, just as the rainy season storms begin. Together they'll lay out the design plans to update the reed villas, refinish the en-suite bathrooms and install a one-of-a-kind al fresco washroom. Later, Grant and Lynsey will head over to their sister property, Chiawa, to make a game plan for its luxe renovation.

Top 10 Best Documentaries About African Wildlife

Jun 30, 2020 | Art and Culture

Are you looking for something new to watch? Here are some if our all-time favourite documentaries about African wildlife for you to enjoy!

We’ve reviewed our Winter watch list and compiled a list of our favourite documentaries about African wildlife for you to enjoy. While there are plenty of wildlife documentaries about Africa, we’ve focused on wildlife for this post because we’re obsessed with animals, animal welfare and conservation. 

Wildlife documentaries can give you a glimpse into parts of the world that you’ve never seen before. As well as offering us plenty of incredible visuals, wildlife and nature documentaries have the ability to teach and inspire us all. 

From plants and vegetation to abundant wildlife and tiny insects, wildlife films give us an inside look into the intricate and complex forms of life in the natural world.

Africa is one of the top travel destinations, with the continent’s wildlife being one of the main attractions. From desert plains and jungles to rolling savannas and mountain ranges, Africa has diverse regions which are home to an incredible variety of wildlife species. 

Some of the better-known animals in Africa are the infamous  Big Five , the  buffalo,  the  elephant , the  leopard , the  lion  and the  rhinoceros.  The lesser-known animals such as  antelopes ,  meerkats  and  hyenas  are just as fascinating.  

We’ve created a list of our top documentaries about African wildlife. Each film tells a compelling story that captures the essence of the African wild in its own way. 

Take the time to watch these wildlife documentaries and share them with your family and friends. Thought-provoking, inspiring, and entertaining, these documentaries take into account the impact we as humans currently have on nature’s delicate ecosystems. 

If you’d like to see the Big Five for yourself in person, take a Big Five tour from Cape Town .

Blood Lions

Blood L ions  is a documentary film directed by Bruce Young and Nick Chevallier. The film follows acclaimed environmental journalist Ian Michler, and American hunter, Rick Swazey, on their journey to uncover the realities of predator breeding farms and canned lion hunting industries in South Africa. 

Every day, captive-bred or tame lions are slaughtered to feed the demand for lion bone in illegal wildlife trade. This documentary raises awareness about the lion breeding industry in South Africa. It aims to end unethical interactive practices such as lion cub petting, lion walks and canned hunting in Africa.

Watch Blood Lions . 

Eye of the Leopard  

Eye of the Leopard  follows the remarkable life of one small leopard called Legadema. Set in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, the story follows this young leopard cub from when she is just eight days old until she is three years old. 

As you watch Legadema the leopard grow throughout this documentary, you will see her slip in and out of danger, running from baboons, but also making strides in hunting and surviving. Eye of the Leopard provides a magnificent view of one of Africa’s most elusive animals. 

Rent or purchase Eye of the Leopard documentary on the  Wildlife Films website  or purchase the DVD on  Amazon . 

Virunga  

Set in Virunga National Park in the Republic of Congo, the film  Virunga  follows the incredible true story of four rangers fighting to protect the home of the world’s last mountain gorillas. 

The rangers face the dangers of the violent M23 Rebellion, poachers and the harsh political realities of life in the Congo. This investigative documentary tells a significant story of poaching, war and oil exploration, which are all factors that pose a threat to this beautiful part of Africa. 

Virunga is a powerful documentary that explores the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Congo, as well as the complex economic and political issues surrounding oil exploration and armed conflict in the region. 

Watch the Virunga documentary on  Netflix . 

Vanishing Kings: Lions of the Namib  

Vanishing Kings: Lions of the Namib  gives a deep insight into the secret lives of the Namib’s Desert lions. The Namib is the only place in the world where a small population of lions have adapted to the unique conditions of the desert. Desert lions became extinct in 1990 due to trophy hunting and persecution by livestock farmers. However, a pride of lions returned to the area in 1997, and the population has been increasing ever since. 

Filmed over two years, the documentary uncovers the fascinating lives of five male Desert lion cubs on their journey towards adulthood. Through these intimate encounters, we come to understand how these rare lions have survived the relentless environment of the Namib Desert. If these male lions can make it to adulthood, there may be hope for the dwindling Desert lion population. 

This wildlife film documents the true story of these five male lions’ fight for survival as they battle persistent hunger and unrelenting thirst in the Namibian desert. Wildlife filmmakers Leanne and Will Steenkamp partnered with scientist Dr Phillio Stander to understand how these elusive predators have adapted to survive this unusual environment. The crew roamed through endless dunes and rugged mountain plains of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast where they captured intimate moments with lions once thought to be extinct. 

Watch Vanishing Kings: Lions of the Namib on  Youtube  or purchase the book on  Amazon .  

Africa 

Consisting of 6 episodes and filmed over four years, BBC Earth’s wildlife documentary  Africa  takes viewers on a journey through Africa’s wild terrain of diverse landscapes and fascinating creatures. 

Sir David Attenborough guides us through five extraordinary regions in Africa, including the  Kalahari,  the Savannah, the Congo, the  Cape  and the Sahara. Each area shows off the continent’s rarest animals, plants and natural phenomena. The series provides excellent insight into Africa’s diverse wildlife and the environmental issues that they face, including habitat loss, poaching, human population growth and climate change. 

From this documentary series, we can appreciate how important it is to preserve the magnificent wildlife that thrives on this unique continent. 

Watch the BBC Earth Africa series . 

Solo: A Wild Dog’s Tale  

Set in  Botswana’s Okavango Delta ,  Solo: A Wild Dog’s Tale  follows the life of Solo, the lonely wild dog. Solo was forced to fend for herself after her two pack members disappeared, presumably killed by lions. It was thought that she wouldn’t survive due to not being able to hunt in a pack; however, it was soon apparent that her prey had no chance against her incredible hunting skills. 

What was even more surprising was her desire for companionship. Wild dogs are well known for their pack mentality, and Solo began to share her kills with the local jackals and their offspring. Solo began to associate with spotted hyenas and families of black-backed jackals. 

This documentary follows Solo as she comes to grips with being a lone  wild dog , in search of a new pack.

Watch Solo: A Wild Dog’s Tale . 

The Queen of Trees 

Queen of Trees  reveals the unlikely partnership between the giant fig tree and the tiny fig wasp. This extraordinary documentary captures the delicate symbiotic relationship between insect and plant. 

Filmmakers spent two years camped near a giant sycamore tree to capture the ways in which the fig and the wasp depend on each other for survival. Without the figs, the wasp would have nowhere to lay its eggs. Without the wasp, the fig tree could not produce seeds and pollinate its flowers. 

Queen of Trees takes an in-depth look into the unusual relationships that exist between animals and plants. The captivating documentary gives viewers an inside perspective of the fascinating communication and exchange that happens between the often overlooked insects and plants in the natural world.   

Queen of Trees can be watched on  YouTube .

Eye of the Pangolin

Released on Endangered Species Day in May 2019, this powerful film was created to raise awareness for the most trafficked mammal on the planet: the  pangolin.  

Although COVID 19 is a disaster for humans, it might be a blessing for pangolins. There is no conclusive evidence, but pangolins have been linked to the outbreak of COVID 19. Pangolins are trafficked in tightly packed, unsanitary conditions which could possibly lead to a virus being spread. The Chinese government has taken action by banning the trading and eating of wild animals which has decreased the number of pangolins that are being hunted and trafficked.

Pangolins are hunted, killed and sold on the black market for their meat and scales, which are believed to have medicinal purposes. From the co-director of Blood Lions, Bruce Young, the  Eye of the Pangolin  documentary follows two men on a journey to capture all four species of African pangolin on camera for the first time in history. 

The crew embarks on a journey through the African continent, where they shed light on several organisations aiming to protect and save the lives of these gentle creatures. Viewers will be captivated by these strange and secretive creatures that are sadly on the brink of extinction. 

Watch Eye of the Pangolin for free on  YouTube.

Dynasties  

Dynasties  is the BBC Earth series narrated by Sir David Attenborough. The documentary features the five most iconic animal species in nature: chimpanzees, lions ,  wild dogs , tigers and emperor  penguins . Dynasties aims to explore how these extraordinary animals manage to reach the top of the animal kingdom and keep that prime position. Each episode follows a different animal species that are battling against the forces of nature. 

Episode one features a chimpanzee in Senegal named David, who tries to overcome threats to his leadership. Episode two documents a colony of emperor penguins in Atka Bay as they try to keep themselves and their babies alive during winter. Chapter three documents the dramatic story about a lioness leader that must fight for her pride’s survival. The wild dog or painted wolf is featured in episode four which tells the story of a matriarch’s feud with her daughter that threatens to bring the pack down. Lastly, episode five follows a tiger who must protect her cubs against rivals who want to overthrow her. 

Watch Dynasties . 

Brothers in Blood: The Lions of the Sabi Sand  

The Brothers in Blood: The Lions of the Sabi Sand  documentary was filmed over 16 years and tells the notorious story of the rise and fall of six male lions. Named the Mapogo Lions , the film follows this coalition on their journey towards conquering an incredible amount of land. The film was documented by professional filmmakers and rangers who have witnessed these six lions stand together in brutal attacks against other lions and their cubs.

The Mapogo coalition was an astounding group of lions that showed no fear in their relentless hunger for domination. In one year, the five brothers and one half-brother killed over 100 lions and massacred their cubs in order to expand their territory. This documentary shows shocking violence and the hunger for domination that exists in the animal kingdom. 

If you’re interested in learning about the Mapogo Lions, watch the Blood Brothers: The Lions of the Sabi Sand documentary on  Youtube  or purchase it on  Amazon .

We also wrote a killer blog post on the infamous Mapogo coalition. Read it here .

What's the Story?

PRIMAL SURVIVOR: EXTREME AFRICAN SAFARI, an installment of the Primal Survivor franchise, stars survival expert Hazen Audel as he makes his away across Africa's Great Rift Valley to see rare wildlife in their natural habitats. From looking for herds of elephants in the Valley of the Giants to braving the Chalbi Desert in hope of finding a camel train, cameras follow Audel as he searches for specific animals while stumbling across other creatures and fauna during his journey. He also meets people from local tribes who share their knowledge with him. It's fascinating and dangerous, but luckily Audel has the skills to make it through.

Is It Any Good?

The interesting unscripted series offers viewers the chance to see what it is like in parts of Great Rift Valley that run through Southeast Africa. As Hazen Audel navigates his way through the valley's geographic trenches, which take him through deserts, mangroves, and other challenging terrain, he highlights the many dangers that he's potentially facing. But outside of this, Primal Survivor: Extreme African Safari isn't very extreme. In fact, the attempts to make the series appear more dramatic for entertainment purposes is unnecessary, given that the animals and nomadic tribes featured throughout are intriguing enough keep viewers engaged. If you like wilderness survival shows, or enjoy learning bits about the African wild, this is worth checking out.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about what it would be like to live in the African Great Rift Valley. How do local tribes co-exist with wild animals? What kinds of things do they do to survive extreme conditions?

What are some of the skills that Hazen Audel uses to keep himself hydrated, warm, fed, and safe from predators during his journey? Do you think he was in any real danger while on this trip?
