Africa's Predator Zones

Enter the coliseum of the wild, known as the Savute. In this tiny corner of Africa’s vast desert, three hunting zones meet, and big cats meet bigger prey in the harshest of landscapes, where success depends on how well the predators have adapted.

Voyage across East Africa’s Grumeti and Mara rivers, which over a million wildebeest will cross during their annual migration. As trenches shift and levels fluctuate, see how the crocodiles who await them must adapt to the rivers’ wild tempers.

When the wet season reaches the Serengeti, the dinner bell rings for the big cats of the Ndutu. A million wildebeest are on the menu, but hunting them amid steep inclines, maddening mud, and open plains will require highly evolved skills.
