Africa is a land of giants. Its mighty rivers sculpt the earth and form impressive valleys and waterways home to many imposing and powerful inhabitants. These are the rivers where massive elephants and hippos live, feed and drink and where ancient crocodiles hunt and breed. They share the rivers with other creatures of their kind, such as porcupines - the giant rodents in Africa, the martial eagle - the biggest of its kind on the continent, and the leopard - a giant among the spotted cats
The rivers of Africa bring life and abundance to their inhabitants, but they can also be the arena for some of nature's most significant challenges and dramas. Harsh seasonal cycles dictate the course of life - and death - along the rivers. Only the fittest survive crossing the crocodile-infested Mara, the extreme drought of the Luangwa Valley or any of the many other perils harboured by rivers all over the continent. With cunning and opportunistic hunters of all sizes lurking in the waters or prowling the banks, Africa's rivers are a predator's paradise
