The River That Swallows All Rivers

Episode 1 of 3

Documentary series looking at one of Africa鈥檚 least explored regions and its extraordinary range of wildlife, including differing kinds of chimps.

Documentary series looking at one of Africa's least explored regions. The Congo River is now so wide that animals are unable to cross it. Intelligent but aggressive chimpanzees inhabit the north side, while the more gentle bonobos - pygmy chimps - live ten miles away on the south side. As big as Wales, the Bangweulu Lake and swamps in Zambia are home to a bird as big as a man and arguably the most primitive fish in the world.
