Watch Wild Africa Season 1 Episode 3 Online

As a whole, Africa is a dry continent with deserts dominating the landscape. Wild Africa explores how these deserts were created, and the amazing ways in which animals and plants have evolved to cope with the meagre and unpredictable rainfall, intense solar radiation, shortages of food and lack of shelter. By traveling through the African deserts, Wild Africa reveals that given enough time, a diverse variety of animals and plants can make a living in even the harshest conditions. Beginning in the Sahara, Africa’s driest, youngest and most extensive desert, we head south to the Kalahari, a more forgiving desert fed by occasional monsoonal rains. Then traveling west, through the older, drier Karoo before completing the journey in the Namiba, Africa’s most ancient desert where an amazing collection of life is sustained only by coastal fog.
