New Documentary Walking with Elephants to Premier on Discovery Channel Africa
Discovery Channel Africa will premiere Walking with Elephants on Wednesday, 16 April at 20:05 CAT on DStv Channel 121. The compelling new documentary follows explorer and conservationist Levison Wood, alongside local bushman Kane Motswana, as they track a 650-mile migration of African elephants from Botswana’s Kalahari Desert to the Okavango Delta. The series highlights both the natural spectacle and the survival challenges these elephants face.
The programme places a spotlight on the declining elephant population—now estimated below 450,000—due to poaching, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict. The release forms part of the channel’s broader Earth Day programming, which includes an environmental marathon on Tuesday, 22 April, showcasing nature-themed specials aimed at raising awareness around global conservation issues.
