🌍✨ Journey to the Source of the Nile | New Documentary Out Thursday!

In this first part, we explore the breathtaking Rwenzori Mountains—home to one of the Nile’s most spectacular source areas. A snow-capped peak towering 5,000 meters above sea level, with glistening glaciers giving way to lush forests filled with Giant Lobelia and Aster plants. 🏔️

Here, the stunning Lobelia Scarlet-tufted Malachite Sunbird thrives. Watch as males fiercely defend their territory, awaiting the arrival of females for the mating season. 🐦✨

At lower altitudes, these forests become a paradise for wildlife, including unique chameleons hunting insects. And in Rwanda's captivating Nyungwe National Park, located at the Nile’s furthest source, incredible creatures like the acrobatic Angola Colobus call this place home! 🦎

From there, the journey continues to Lake Victoria—a haven for vibrant cichlids and the site of mesmerizing natural phenomena. Don’t miss the enchanting sight of billions of lake flies performing their mating ritual, resembling smoke rising into the sky. 🪰🌊

📆 See you back here on Thursday!
