A huge improvement on the quality of National Geographic's camera work. A very conventional Okavango documentary and no new ground broken. It is let down by Angela Basset's embarrassingly poor script and dreadful delivery. Her breathy monotone performance is saturated with saccharine artificial drama. A stereotypical bed time story delivery that completely lets down the otherwise food production. National Geographic would do well to find a narrator with true understanding and passion for the subject matter - not something that can be synthesised by a rather ordinary actress.
