Description
Waterhole: Africa's Animal Oasis
Nature Documentary hosted by Ella Al-Shamahi and Chris Packham, published by BBC in 2020 - English narration.
Information
------------------------------
Waterholes are vital to the African ecosystem as bustling oases where elephants, lions, leopards and hundreds of other species meet and compete for water. But little is known about how they support so much life. Now the BBC Studios Natural History Unit is working with Mwiba Wildlife Reserve in Tanzania to create the world's first waterhole with a built-in specialist camera rig.
With half-submerged and weatherproofed remote cameras, Chris Packham and biologist Ella Al-Shamahi aim to uncover the complex dynamics of the waterhole for the very first time. They film across three dramatic periods: the middle of the dry season, the hottest time of year and the height of the first rains, to gain unique insights into the lives of some of Africa's most iconic animals and uncover the increasingly important role of water in Africa with the growing impact of climate change.
