The Tropic of Capricorn 1 of 20 - Namibia - BBC Travel Documentary

The Tropic of Capricorn 1 of 20 - Namibia - BBC Travel Documentary, recorded 07.03.2009

Simon Reeve presents a travel documentary as embarks on a journey along the Tropic of Capricorn, the line of latitude which cuts through Southern Africa, Australia and South America.

In the four-part BBC2 series Tropic of Capricorn, broadcast in 2008, Simon followed the southern border of the tropics region around the world.

While filming Tropic of Capricorn, Simon travelled through Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil.

The journey took him to stunning areas of the world, but it was also a chance for spontaneous discoveries about the changing global environment, poverty, globalisation, AIDS, the rise of the Chinese economy and the suffering of Africa.

@pacovl46 > I guess you mean an observer and NOT a TV Presenter...

[pacovl46]

i saw a pair in a zoo in thailand. one of them was just pacing up and down along the fence with a ready-to-go-hunting look on his face, looking always at the same spot outside his fence. when i turned around to see what it was i saw people with kids walking by on a path that ran parallel to his fence. if there hadn't been a fence... they're awesome animals, though.
