DESCRIPTION

Welcome to a predator's paradise.  Botswana's mysterious Savuti Channel. Where the prey is plentiful and the pickings are easy...but the banquet is crowded. Three groups abound in this predator battleground - the lion pride, hyena clan and wild dog pack - all using the dry riverbed as a hunting ground.  While the dry season plagues the elephant and antelope herds, it makes for a predators delight.
 
But then when heavy rains come from Angola flooding the Savuti Channel for the first time in 25 years, crocodiles seize the channel as their own. Witness the resulting unique behaviour of predator and prey alike as the dry and the wet channel forces them to react in startling ways, all in an effort to survive on the Savuti Predator Battleground.
