Wild Africa: Rivers of Life

S01E03: Hoanib River

The Hoanib River runs for around 170 miles. It rises in the Hoanib Valley in Namibia, and flows through the parched Namib Desert all the way to the Skeleton Coast before emptying out into the Atlantic Ocean. The river only flows for two weeks a year. When it’s born it gathers strength, shaping and invigorating the landscape and all that it touches. During times of extreme drought, the creatures that call this desert region home depend on the life sustaining waters of the river for their survival.

Overview

Africa's rivers are the wildest places on our planet. Bursting with life, they are home to an array of wildlife who depend on the rivers for their survival.
