Great Rivers of Africa

In the desert wilderness of Namibia, there is a river that lies hidden beneath the sand for most of the year.

Hidden between the mountains of Africa's Rift Valley flows a majestic river that brings an abundant surge of water to the Luangwa Valley.

For most of the year, the Mara River flows peacefully through the wide plains of southern Kenya, but during the dry months, it displays the ultimate life-and-death struggle.

The Shire River is one of the few African rivers that flows steadily and peacefully throughout the year.

At the southern tip of Africa, the Olifants River flows through and nourishes the unique Cape Floral Kingdom.
