Wendell Reich"Africa's Thunder River" on NatGeo
I think that is the name. The show on the Zambezi River.
Saw it yesterday, except for a couple jabs at Trophy Hunting, I liked it. One small problem I had with it. It starts out with raindrops in the NW of Zambia, follows that all the way down to Chobe, Vic Falls, Kariba, to the confluence of the Luangwa .... then completely skips every part of Mozambique except the Zambezi flowing into the sea.
Really? No mention of Lake Cahora Bassa? No Zambezi Delta?
I was looking forward to the Mozambique portion of the film. Maybe they made it to the Luangwa and ran out of money?
Anyway, it is worth watching. Showed Giant Sable of Angola, some insane bosses on Buffalo in Zambia maybe? Mana Pools, Luangwa, Kariba, Vic Falls. The camera work was good. Lots of pretty pictures to look at.

AnotherAZWriterI watched two shows on life in AK last night on NatGeo and I was stunned how much hunting they showed. No kill shots, but they showed dead stuff. It was quite interesting.

Most folks that watch Nat Geo would expect dead animals in Alaska. It's where those meat eating barbarians live ya know. There's no sense in trying to change us. They are waiting for us to die out.
