OKAVANGO: RIVER OF DREAMS (Series Trailer)

From the wild dogs hunting along its watery edges and the lechwe splashing in its shallows, to the hippos landscaping its channels and the lions that have adapted to a life aquatic – all of the stories in this series have one thing in common: they’re shaped by the life-giving ebb and flow of one of Africa’s greatest rivers.

A 3 part series and a 90min Director's Cut produced by Dereck and Beverly Joubert.
