- The Rivers of Africa shape the lives of those who call their banks home- in the African wilderness there can be no life without water. The continents rivers are the focal point of the dramas of the bushveld- the same river that gives life also harbours death.

- Leopards are considered to be extremely shy big cats. Only a few animals can match the elegance of these feline predators. The cautious hunters are rarely seen in the wild for more than a few seconds. The cats can be observed more extensively when they rest asleep in a tree and recover from the mostly nocturnal hunt. But a leopardess has switched to hunting in broad daylight. Its home along the brook bed of the Olare Orok offers everything a mother needs to protect and nourish its offspring: picturesque rocks and dense bush, a landscape in which the big cat can disappear in seconds to sneak up on potential prey, which includes warthogs and antelopes. But hyenas and lions are always ready to dispute the territory and its nourishment. The renowned wildlife filmmaker Reinhard Radke managed to capture astonishing insights into the social life and hunting tactics of the ambush hunters in the Maasai Mara.

- The complex dynamics between predator and prey are carefully examined through the use of modern technology. Prey are constantly finding new ways to avoid being eaten by predators it is thus crucial for the predators survival that he too finds mechanisms to outsmart his prey- it's an ever-evolving world on the African Savannah. This show examines this evolutionary process - are predators today fitter, faster and stronger than their predecessors? What gives one animal the edge over another? And how much of the animals behaviour is instinctive and how much is learnt? It's a fine balance out on the Savannah grasslands- a world that demands the very best from predator and prey.

- In Lions: In Search of Scarface, host Brittany Bristow and ranger Bruce Hedges search for the world's most famous lion, Scarface. Scarface and his brothers have been ruling over a vast region of the Maasai Mara for many years and are one of the most powerful coalitions known. His brothers are easy to spot but Scarface remains elusive, preferring to sleep in the shade of the bushes during sweltering days. Unwilling to give up, Brittany and Bruce persevere and finally track him down and observe him out in the open with his pride. During their search, they come across a number of hippos finding their way back to the water mid-day.
- In Lions: Marsh Pride Part 1, host Brittany Bristow and ranger Bruce Hedges find lionesses and their cubs. They watch the lion cubs play with one another and interact with their mothers. Clearly hungry, the lionesses scan the horizon. When they spot a lone warthog, they team up and begin to stalk it. Luckily, at least for the quick and clever warthog, it spots the lionesses and escapes, forcing the predators to abandon their hunt. The lionesses then gather the cubs together and lead them away. Brittany and Bruce follow as they meander through the savanna, ultimately reuniting with another lioness from their pride.
- In Lions: Marsh Pride Part 2, host Brittany Bristow and Ranger Bruce Hedges continue to follow the Marsh Pride lionesses and their cubs as they reunite with the dominant males of the Pride. The cubs are adorable as they play with one another, but when one gets too up and close with one of the pride males, he snaps. The lionesses see this and immediately chase the male away. While he runs and roars for his 2 brothers, the lionesses gather around the cubs. In the meantime, elephants are spotted in the trees close by. We watch as they trumpet before long, one of the elephants comes out, approaches the lionesses and cubs and proceeds to chase them away.
- In Hyenas: Scavengers of the Mara - host Brittany Bristow and ranger Bruce Hedges come across a very usual sighting of over 20 hyena surrounding a den, chasing after one another and loudly "laughing." Brittany and Bruce observe as the hyena run around interacting with one another, as well as the numerous other animals in the surrounding area: ostriches, wildebeest, and zebra. Hyenas are creatures of opportunity and because this is birthing season in the Mara, they are seen in close proximity to the large herds of zebra and wildebeest. We watch as they stalk a female who is about to give birth. Later, Brittany and Bruce come upon the hyena's closest living relative, the mongoose. These mongoose are on a hunt for snakes, and chase away a troupe of baboons in the process.
- In Black Rhinos of Kenya, host Brittany Bristow and ranger Bruce Hedges spot a large male rhino who is on a mission to find a female who has recently been spotted in the area. We follow this rhino until he disappears in the trees. The next day, Brittany and Bruce set out again to see if they can find him. This time, they spot him and he is with the female and her calf. As we observe them interacting with one another and walking freely through the open plains of the savanna, Brittany and Bruce talk about the plight of black rhinos, their highly endangered status and the efforts that are being made to save them from extinction. Brittany and Bruce visit a traditional Maasai village that is supported by &Beyond. There, we learn about the local culture, the lifestyle of the Maasai people. Later Brittany talks with Simon from The Africa Foundation. He tells her about a water project that has been established with &Beyond to provide clean water for the surrounding communities and schools.
- In Leopards of the Mara, host Brittany Bristow and ranger Bruce Hedges search for the reclusive leopard. They are very difficult to spot because they are so skilled at hiding in the bushes and up trees. After a long search, Brittany and Bruce finally find a lone male in a wooded area. As we observe him, he scent-marks, rubbing his face against the bushes and scratching the tree trunks with his sharp claws establishing his territory. When he finishes, he comes out into the open and walks right past the vehicle, almost close enough to touch. This is a scary moment, but the leopard seems to be oblivious to the vehicle and breezes calmly past and proceeds to disappear into the thickets. The following day, Brittany and Bruce take a trip across the river to the Greater Mara area. There, they spot a female and her 2 very tiny cubs: a very rare sighting. In awe of the beauty of this spectacular find, they quietly watch as the young cubs interact with each other and their mother. We get a very close look when the cubs and their mother walk past the vehicle.
- In The Maasai Giraffes, host Brittany Bristow and ranger Bruce Hedges travel to Nairobi to visit the Giraffe Centre - a conservation establishment that aims to educate and reintroduce the endangered Rothschild giraffe into the wild. They also explore the savanna of the Mara and find the Maasai giraffe: a species that is native to East Africa and found in Central and Southern Kenya and Tanzania. We follow these giraffes and observe how they have adapted to the grasslands of the savanna. We see how the males spar and fight for dominance. We also come across a group of ten all heading somewhere together. Brittany and Bruce follow them until they find the source of the smell what they observe then, is a rarely spotted behavior among giraffes.
- In Big Cats of the Mara, host Brittany Bristow and ranger Bruce Hedges cross to the Greater Mara Area in search of lions and one of the most well known Cheetahs, Malaika. Malaika has gained world fame because of her tendency to jump into or on top of vehicles. Although nervous she would do that if they found her, Brittany and Bruce set out to find her. Their search is long but finally find the spot where she is resting with 2 older male cubs. Just behind her, a herd of zebra pace around and do what they can to urge her to move. She does eventually get up and breeze past the vehicle but, luckily, she is too preoccupied with her cubs to jump in. They also find a pride of lions who seem interested in hunting the many wildebeest, zebra and buffalo who freely roam the plains.
