African Adventure 3D: Safari in the Okavango
Alternate Title(s): Formerly Wild Africa 3D
nWave Pictures new wildlife adventure film, AFRICAN ADVENTURE: SAFARI IN THE OKAVANGO, takes viewers on a unique photo safari in the Okavango Delta.
Described as "the river which never finds the sea," the Okavango originates in the highlands of Angola and eventually spills into one of the most arid places on earth, the Kalahari Desert, in the northwestern part of Botswana.
The Delta, created by flood waters of the Okavango, is so large it can be spotted from deep space like a giant hand bringing relief to this desolate region. Little-known to the outside world until a few decades ago, this secluded 20,000 square-km maze of lagoons, channels and islands form one of the most beautiful and pristine wildlife reserves on earth.
Join South African zoologist Liesl Eichenberger and world-renowned wildlife filmmaker Tim Liversedge on a thrilling adventure and come face to face with hippos, crocodiles, elephants, lions and many types of antelopes and bird species.
