Africa's Wild Year

Summer in Africa is a season of extremes, it separates the weak from the strong. It tests the survival instincts of cheetahs, lions, geckos, turtles and many more species as they search for food and water in the extreme heat of summer.

Winter in Southern Africa brings drought, ice and storms; the animals that live here must compete with the weather, the land and each other; cheetahs, seals, vultures, and meerkats; rains finally end the dry season and trigger a burst of life.
