Desert Megapride

Channel: SABC3
TX Time: 18h30
Genre: Wildlife, Documentary

Desert Megapride

When it rains, it pours in Nxai Pan in northern Botswana. Lush plains scattered with vast herds of antelope stretch to the horizon. It is a veritable paradise.

But Nxai Pan is a place of harsh contradictions.

For when the rainy season is over, the lake dries up, leaving behind only cracked, desiccated saltpans as the desert, and its devastating heat returns.

The biggest contradiction of all, then, is to call a place of such struggle "hell on Earth"... because for some... this is still paradise.

The lions of Nxai Pan have perfected the art of survival in some of the harshest conditions in Africa.

A coalition of two mighty male lions rules this empire, their tenure spanning almost a decade. Their territory is vast, their females are loyal, and their hold on their land is ironclad.

But they're getting old, and the looming dry season holds the promise of being one of the deadliest yet.

Can these desert kings and their megapride dominate another dry season, or will this be their last?

TX Time: 18h00

Little Big Shots 4

Comedian and producer Melissa McCarthy joins as the new host of Little Big Shots, from executive producer Ellen DeGeneres, for an all-new and totally reinvented season.

Melissa introduces us to a new generation of amazing kids from the US and beyond, all of whom will show off the surprising, smart, funny and downright awesome things they can do.

From brainy little whiz kids to mini virtuosos, it's going to be an exciting, inspiring and adorable time for all.

And with the invincible pairing of Ellen and Melissa at the helm, kids who defy the odds, reject stereotypes and conquer their dreams will give us a peek at what today's cutest - and tomorrow's biggest - talents look like.

They will take us into their world, share their remarkable stories and show us the incredible talents that set them apart.

It's a celebration of how resilient, funny and inspiring kids can be when we allow them to be unabashedly themselves.

They may be little, but their hearts are big.
