Savage Kingdom Wildlife - Okavango Delta, Botswana

This live stream from National Geographic Animals broadcasts Savage Kingdom, a documentary series filmed in the Okavango Delta of northern Botswana, one of the largest inland deltas in the world at 15,000 square kilometres. The series follows rival dynasties including the Marsh Pride lions, leopard Saba and her cubs, hyena queen Zalika's clan, and the Pale Pack of African wild dogs competing for the same territory.

African wild dogs are among the most endangered large carnivores on earth with fewer than 6,600 remaining in the wild, and the Okavango is one of their most significant strongholds. The Okavango River never reaches the ocean, draining instead into the Kalahari Desert to form a seasonal floodplain that swells by up to 12,000 square kilometres between June and August.

Botswana banned all hunting on public land in 2014 and the Okavango Delta was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site the same year. Botswana also holds the world's largest elephant population at approximately 130,000, regularly visible across the landscapes featured throughout the series.

Did You Know? The Okavango River flows 1,000 kilometres from Angola but never reaches the sea, draining entirely into the Kalahari Desert sands to create one of Africa's most biodiverse inland ecosystems.
