"Big Little Giants", 2026.
In the heart of Botswana’s Northern Tuli Game Reserve, a young elephant calf named Pula embarks on his first great journey - learning the migratory paths of his ancestors. Born into a world where ancient routes are now confined by human development, he must navigate a landscape filled with both real and metaphorical giants.
With every step, he learns the wisdom of his herd, the strength within himself, and the balance of life in the wild. He, along with a handful of other baby animals he encounters, faces fears, overcomes obstacles, and discovers their resilience that all youngsters must carry.
Mashatu’s stories keep unfolding, and we’re honoured to bring this next chapter to life.

"MASHATU, LAND OF LEOPARDS", 2025.
Mashatu, Land of Leopards is a gripping new documentary that follows the fate of a leopard family impacted by
climate change.
The doc, which was filmed over 3 years, is set entirely in Southern Africa’s Mashatu Game Reserve, 42-000 hectares of privately owned land in the conserved wilderness area known as the Northern Tuli Game Reserve. Mashatu is globally renowned for incredible leopard sightings and is one of the last natural havens for free-roaming leopards. The reserve lies in the remote eastern corner of Botswana where the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers converge, where Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe come together.
An exceptionally diverse landscape, the backdrop features wide open plains, grassland, riverine forests, rocky hills, marshland and majestic sandstone ridges.
Using cutting-edge technology including drones and high-sensitivity low light cameras, the documentary captures rare images of a fascinating species, revealing behaviours never-before- observed. It is directed by Julien Naar, with Wim and Mags Vorster of Wild Web Africa as cinematographers and field producers, and produced by ZED for France Télévisions, National Geographic & RTS.
