Using state of the art high definition filming techniques, this series investigates the geological forces which shaped East Africa s Great Rift and which make it one of the world s most wildlife rich landscapes.
The Great Rift Valley channels a huge diversity of waterways rivers, lakes, waterfalls, caustic springs and coral seas spanning from Egypt to Mozambique. Some lake and ocean deeps harbour previously unseen life forms, while caustic waters challenge life to the extreme. But where volcanic minerals enrich the Great Rift s waterways, they provide the most spectacular concentrations of birds, mammals and fish in all Africa.
