Our Top Wildlife Documentaries

22nd April 2025

Our experts love sitting down and watching a nature documentary, immersing themselves in the Natural World when they aren’t busy exploring it in person. Whether it’s the high-glossy BBC productions with Sir David Attenborough’s soft narration, or the late-great Steve Irwin with his hands-on approach to wildlife, they have hand-picked and shared some of their favourite Africa-focussed documentaries which we have shared below.

We hope you will enjoy watching in the lead up to your trip as well.
