Africa Hunters

This film follows the hunting of a giraffe by four members of the Ju/'hoansi (a !Kung Bushmen tribe) over a 13-day period in the Kalahari desert. The film consists of footage shot on the the third joint Smithsonian-Harvard Peabody sponsored Marshall family expedition to Africa in 1952-53 to study the Ju/'hoansi, one of the few surviving groups that lived by hunting-gathering.

The genius behind the great deep-sea hunters.

Robert Ruark was perhaps the most renowned safari writer of the twentieth century. As a respected columnist and author during his lifetime, his writings have influenced thousands of hunters to travel to Africa to see the places that Ruark has immortalized in his writings.

East Africa has seen the worst invasion of desert locusts for decades and there are warnings of even larger swarms to come. Millions of people across the region, who are already feeling the impact of coronavirus and floods, will now face increased hunger and poverty. Just an average swarm can eat the same in a day as 2,500 people in a year. We join Albert, a Samburu herdsman turned locust hunter, as he struggles to track the pests that have been decimating crops and pastures across his native northern Kenya. It is a race against time to exterminate this generation before they breed another, larger and even more voracious generation.
