Wildest Africa

Nile an African Odyssey (1x6)

: 02, 2010

This series looks at some of Africa's most spectacular locations and how these natural wonders are being threatened by environmental pressures. The longest river in the world at 6,700 kilometres, the Nile drains over three million square kilometres. Some of its water takes six months to reach the sea. Though it flows through one of Earth's harshest deserts and travels the last 2,400 kilometres without a single tributary, it never runs dry.
