Stories of Africa (2013)

Stories of Africa captures the heart and spirit of some of Africa's most amazing animals. Shot over several years in some of Africa's best kept wild places, we follow the tale of the last lionesses of Liuwa and the incredible effort to establish a viable lion pride in Zambia. In the same country, another story focuses on a family of wild elephants led by a matriarch called Wonky Tusk. Once a year, they arrive at a 5 star lodge and walk up the steps and through reception to get to a wild mango tree that grows in the court yard. When tens of thousands of hippos start fighting for diminishing water and females, the battles can go on for hours. Two Big Cat documentaries complete the 5-part Stories of Africa series: One focuses on a remarkable cheetah coalition in the Linyanti and the other tracks the heroic journey of a young leopard fighting for survival, territory and mating rights in Mala-Mala. The series exposes unique and unexpected animal behavior and showcases some of the most beautiful places in Africa.
