I am just flabbergasted by how good this documentary is. The cinematography, narration and info rival Planet Earth quality. I can’t believe this doesn’t have wide distribution. With only 7k views I feel fortunate having found it. The most truly gem-quality hidden gem I’ve seen in a long long time.

This guy has less than 500 subscribers? WTF? Get this damn doc on Netflix! It should be everywhere and this channel should be blowin' up!

Fantastic job, Oliver Halsey. Great cinematography, and wonderful presentation. I only wish major studios were this adept at making learning fun, and produced documentaries so people could learn about the planet they live on.

This video like the unique life forms it brings to life is one of those hidden gems that makes the internet worth it!! 24:00 life surviving in the desert 27:20 Stupendous Night sky ablaze with stars and galaxies!! Need far more shots of this in the film. 41:07 200 million year "living fossil" Welwichia plant that was a contemporary of the Dinosaurs. Beautiful and interesting documentary.

The cinematography, narration and soundtrack are incredibly impressive. I love the talking head sections also which provide additional informative molasses in an already nutritionally enriched knowledge feast. Kudos to the creators.

One of the best documentary ever made.

This documentary was superb. The scenes in some instances were extraordinarily captivating and stunning. I literally just came across this video on KZread but it was definitely worth watching. The narrator has a soothing voice that draws you in. Thank you 😊❤️

This documentary is absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see more of your work. We are planning so visit Namibia next year, excited to capture some incredible landscape footage.

Oh my gosh I actually watched it all the way through. Usually when I watch documentaries I cant watch the whole show in one sitting.

Amazing documentary. The photography of the night sky was unlike anything I’ve seen.

Impressive! Never heard of those plums before!! Thanks for the video, great work!!!

Bravo! Standing ovation!!!

GREAT DOCUMENTARY!!

I watched this film three times.

Thank you, very interesting, beautifully shot and narrated!

Excellent piece on this fascinating corner of the world; wonderful and efficacious production values, appropriate well-chosen music. The plants and animals unlike anywhere else in the world. Bravo to the producers. Thank you!

I really feel "educated" about a less studied area of Africa. The species that live there, the people that survive there and the beauty of the desert. I lived in the Mohave for one year and appreciate these often overlooked areas of our planet.

Lovely documentary!

Awesome!waiting. For other episodes .

Thank you for excellent documentary, fascinating desert, as I watch desert documentaries I feel that’s where I should live. Until then grateful for such videos.

Beautifully made documentary. Cheers

What a hidden gem this doc is! Beautiful desert and interesting how life manages to survive in such harsh conditions. Good job 👍👏😎

Wonderful! Thank you very much.

Great stuff indeed ! The overall presentation is top class. Thanks for this documentary.

Other species on the planet: Yes, this shall be the perfect spot to live the rest of my life in peace. Humans: ooh sorry I am going to have to dig that up so I can learn more about your species.

Great Job you have talent to make documentary. Wish you the best.

18:30 it's very interesting, I just found two scorpion, can't wait to dig more of them

What about large mammals, like antelopes, jackals, zebras, giraffes etc? How they are adapted to live in the desert? They can't borrow like small insects. And they need much more water then just a fog condensation. Thank you.

21:55”behind the spider it looks as there is a tiny spider from bottom right of the screen crawling to bottom left of the screen.or is it something else crawling????

No way they could do this with Bullet Ants

Beautiful documentary, the only thing i would have liked to have seen done better, is the depth. You talk about so many animals that my curiosity about some them remains. I think it would have been better to choose 3-4 different animals and talked about them and/or their interaction between them. That for me would have made it much more interesting
