Narrated by David Attenborough and filmed over five years, it follows the real-life dramas of four African apex predators\u2014leopards, lions, hyenas, and wild dogs\u2014right here in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinpopesafaris.net\/regions\/south-luangwa-national-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">South Luangwa\u2019s<\/a> Nsefu Sector, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinpopesafaris.net\/destinations\/zambia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zambia<\/a> where our own story began nearly 40 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Kingdom is especially meaningful to us. Not only was it filmed in the Nsefu Sector, home to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinpopesafaris.net\/camps-lodges\/nsefu-camp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Nsefu Camp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinpopesafaris.net\/camps-lodges\/tena-tena-camp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tena Tena<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinpopesafaris.net\/safaris\/luangwa-bush-camping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Luangwa Bush Camping<\/a>, but we also hosted the BBC crew throughout the project. Working alongside filmmakers Will &amp; Lianne Steenkamp (based at Nsefu Camp and known for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinpopesafaris.net\/a-safari-with-the-stars-of-the-silver-screen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Olimba: Leopard Legacy<\/a>) and the Zambian Carnivore Programme (ZCP), we had a front-row seat to this remarkable production. Seeing the predators we know and love on screen makes this series truly personal.<\/p>\n<p>And yes\u2014the late Olimba features too! Those who saw her on safari or followed her story will be delighted to see her return alongside her family, joined by three other carnivore dynasties: Tenta\u2019s Hyena Clan, Rita\u2019s Lion Pride, and Storm\u2019s Wild Dog Pack.<\/p>\n<p>Kingdom premiered on BBC One on Sunday, 9 November, and is also available on BBC iPlayer. For viewers in North America, it debuts 24 January 2026 on BBC America and AMC+.<\/p>\n<p>In honour of Kingdom\u2019s launch, we\u2019re introducing our brand-new Nsefu Kingdom Safari. This exclusive six-guest departure on 23 August 2026 gives your clients the chance to explore the very landscapes where the series was filmed, staying at Nsefu and Tena Tena and guided by safari legend Keyala \u201cKiki\u201d Phiri.<\/p>\n<p>So, tune in, enjoy one of the greatest wildlife documentaries of our time, and once you\u2019ve watched it, let us take your clients to experience our \u201cKingdom\u201d for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>More details coming soon.
