Wild Africa takes audiences on a spectacular journey across, over, and through the magical realms of the wildest continent on earth.
Water, the interconnecting force of this enchanted kingdom, serves as a guide, shaping wild Africa and conjuring up life wherever it journeys…travelling above the plains on seasonal winds, cascading along raging rivers or sheltering coral cities. It’s an adventure where you will truly believe the real world is more extraordinary and aweinspiring than any fiction.

The production team created bespoke 3D kit created specifically for Wild Africa, taking Hollywood technology to the wildest parts of Africa. Filming on location presented incredibly challenging circumstances for the crew who were taking 3D cameras into places and conditions that have never been attempted before. Fearless, they faced 100% humidity, temperatures of over 50C and altitudes of 19,000 ft.
Over the course of filming, the crew withstood being sandblasted, immersed in poisonous volcanic fumes, bounced over the roughest terrain, swept down mighty rivers and kept submerged for hours on end. Never before has such technologically advanced kit been taken to so many tough and remote locations.
