Africa: Eye to Eye with the Unknown
David Attenborough and the award-winning BBC Natural History Unit embark on a landmark new BBC One series, painting a breathtaking portrait of Africa as never before caught on film.
This lavish and unmissable companion to the programme reveals the undiscovered side of Africa’s five distinctive regions.
This is a spectacular journey through a vast and diverse continent in all its beautiful and unexpected abundance, capturing never-before-seen wildlife behaviour using remote HD cameras, and revealing mesmerising new creatures and magical landscapes that will astound, captivate and challenge what you think you know about Africa.
Witness the drama of eagles catching giant bats on the wing, lizards stalking their prey on the backs of lions and a nerve-wracking giraffe fight.
Discover the world’s rarest fish species in an underground lake deep under the Kalahari and gain the first-ever access to an island sanctuary for the elusive African penguin. Marvel at a butterfly superhighway and watch the jungle floor miraculously glow in the dark.
Africa: Eye to Eye with the Unknown is one of the first printed books to employ augmented reality, bringing still photographs to life in moving images from the series on smart phones or tablets via the free, one-click QuercusEye app with Aurasma technology.
