an epic African wildlife park through the eyes

curiosity about the natural world as well as an
adventurous spirit. Now, for a new 6-part PBS/
Nat Geo International series, Bob is drawing
on that experience to document the rebirth of a
lost Eden: Mozambique’s Gorongosa National
Park, a jewel of Africa’s parks system until civil
war almost destroyed it. There, he joined forces
with rangers and scientists (including his sister,
renowned elephant researcher Joyce Poole) on
perhaps the biggest conservation project on the
planet. He’ll share secrets of filming lions, crocs,
elephants and spectacular scenery and tell how
he cracked the “Gorongosa code”— learning to
read the landscape and find prime locations for
filming the park’s spectacular wildlife.
Cost:
$25
per person.
