Great Rivers of Africa
Pongola: The Generous River
S1 • E12 Dec 1, 1996
When in flood, the Pongola River creates a whole new wild world of quiet backwaters, hidden animals and ancient rituals. With the summer rains, the Pongola floods, filling its pans which are home to hippos, great white egrets and Goliath herons. Cane rats live in the lush vegetation along the banks, unseen by the warthogs and other creatures.
