Hierdie is die dramatiese en indrukwekende storie van die Afrika renoster se veg vir oorlewing, nie net teen die mens nie, maar ook teen ‘n onverwagte vyand – olifante. In die Pilanesberg Natuurreservaat in Suid Afrika is daar unieke video wat wys hoe renosters sonder rede aangeval word deur olifante. Baie keer tot die dood toe en partykeer met die gebruik van wapens. In hierdie film word daar rare renoster gedrag gesien en die ongewone en versteurende gebeure tussen twee van die grootste soogdiere op die aarde. Die mens se inmenging met hierdie reuse diere, deur natuurlike populasies te vernietig en dan te probeer om hulle terug te bring en te beskerm, het ‘n reuse impak gehad op die manier hoe hierdie diere op mekaar reageer. ‘n Afrika Renoster Storie vertel die ware storie van hoe die natuurlewe oorleef teen alle teenspoed.

The world's tropical waters are inhabited by a fish that dwarfs all others, yet the tiniest creatures fuel it. The whale shark spends its life pursuing rich upwellings of microscopic plankton. Off the east coast of Africa, the warm currents of the Indian Ocean carry with them a seemingly infinite supply of food. Each year, with the onset of spring, the gentle giants leave the equatorial waters of Seychelles and follow these currents southwards, on a remarkable journey, unique in nature, thousands of miles along the ocean's highways. Our story follows one whale shark on its trip to the southernmost tip of the continent to unravel the mystery of the whale shark's incredible journey.

The Sardine Run - One of the most spectacular marine wildlife events in the world. Millions of sardines swim along the South coast of Africa pursued by thousands of dolphins, countless sharks and gannets, all competing for nature's bounty. Meanwhile, every fisherman on the south coast of Africa also races to exploit the generosity of this vast ocean. This action packed, visually spectacular film follows the passionate quest of director / cameraman, Peter Lamberti, and his dedicated crew as they chase the sardines racing along South Africa's Wild Coast shadowed by an assortment of predators. Sharks, dolphins, seals, gannets and many other animals join this gala, frantic to indulge in the great feast. Whales, sharks and game fish compete to keep up with this moving buffet. Inadvertently, the various predators start to act cooperatively. Copper sharks and Common dolphins team up, herding the shoals close to the surface, making it easier for the seabirds to plunge in and take their share. From the air and from below, the hunt is on. For the local Shark's Board it is a particularly tense time, having to remove the shark nets from the sea to avoid shark and dolphin casualties. As the sardines head up the coastline the action intensifies, on the Natal Coast humans join in the attack. Fishermen and local inhabitants wait all year for this bonanza. As the nets are hauled up on the beach, the frenzy continues with onlookers grabbing handfuls, stuffing fish in bags and pockets. Etiquette forgotten, fights break out as the people grapple with each other to seize as many fish as possible. The sensational under water footage of "The Greatest Shoal on Earth" reveals one of the most incredible spectacles of the planet's oceans .
