Go on an extraordinary journey and explore one of the longest rivers on the African continent, the mightyZambezi. Passing through or along six African countries, the river's story is one of constant change, of life and death.
 
From the Zambezi's source in Zambia to the point at which it finally reaches the Indian Ocean after a magnificent journey of 2,700 kilometres, the fourth-longest flow in all of Africa passes through many diverse landscapes, making it a haven and resource for a rich selection of wildlife.

EPISODE GUIDE

  • Zambezi: Source Of Life
    It's one of the least known rivers on earth - yet it flows for over 3,500 kilometres and belongs to six countries. Filmed throughout the changing seasons we follow the Upper Zambezi from its headwaters to the majestic, thundering Victoria Falls. Along the way, we witness the amazing spectacles of wildlife that depend upon the river for life, and we meet the tribes that have lived with the river for centuries.
  • Zambezi: River Untamed
    The Zambezi is the fourth-longest river in Africa, and along its course and its many changing moods it is a haven and a resource for wild animals and humans alike. In Part 2 of Zambezi, we travel downriver starting at Victoria Falls, until finally the river flows out into the Indian Ocean. And as we travel, we learn the story of a river that has been changed by the force of humanity, for at Kariba its flow has been harnessed into hydroelectric energy. The story of the Zambezi is one of constant change, of life and death - it is the story of Africa itself.
