Okavango: River of Dreams - Episode 3: Inferno

This leopard mother has devised a clever way to ambush prey. She hides in the branches of a sausage tree and waits for antelope to come to feed on the fallen flowers. This ingenious hunting technique improves her success in providing food for her two hungry cubs.

A family of meerkats watches as zebras migrate south in the Okavango. Simultaneously, they keep an eye out for predators from above and below as they snack on high-protein grubs.

The salty rainwater in the Okavango attracts a flock of flamingos. They come to feed on the shrimp that have hatched in the sheet water.

A pride of lions has no trouble hunting warthogs in their territory. They prey on the hogs to get them through the dry season in the Okavango.

Dereck and Beverly Joubert take us behind the camera for the filming of the final episode. They share some of the technical challenges and reflect on the full scale of the project.
