Mara Nights

Using a revolutionary new camera that can film by moon and starlight alone, this is a remarkable film about the animals of the African night.

Using a revolutionary new camera that can film by moon and starlight alone, this is a remarkable film about the animals of the African night. You won't have seen anything like it before.

Undisturbed by any artificial lights, strange nocturnal creatures emerge - aardvarks, bushbabies and bat-eared foxes. Under the cover of darkness, lions and hyena stand a better chance at hunting. But their prey too can see in the dark, so the night is a tense battle of the senses. Zebra, wildebeest and topi must be on guard all night long.

In conditions that would appear pitch black to us this remarkable new camera records incredibly clear pictures, and uncovers the astonishing secrets of the African night.
