5 out of 5 stars Great set of wildlife films, totally worth the money.......2006-07-24

There is a good review by 'Sammy (music)' here that tells you what this set contains, so I won't repeat it.

This set contains six very nice wildlife films. Film # 5 ('Super Predators') alone is worth the price of the entire set. It contains chilling sequences of predators chasing down and killing prey. The photographers are on the spot there, and have not missed one thing in any action sequence. Film # 5 is, in my opinion, the best wildlife action movie I have ever seen.

The narration is well-done, the footage is clear and complete, the music stays in the background (where it is supposed to be in films like these) and the DVD quality is above average. For even double the price, this set would be a good value. You will not regret buying it.

5 out of 5 stars Great value.......2006-01-20

This 6 dvd set is at a very affordable price and contains 6 hours of wildlife footage. In the first two discs, we go from region to region and see what animals live there. The next two discs are in Africa and follow certain animals, especially lions and cheetahs. The fifth disc focuses on super predators and shows a lot of hunts and details about them. The sixth disc focuses on life on the sea. The collection covers so many animals and it's very well done. It's very relaxing to watch and the narration is very good. It shows how they survive, give birth, eat, hunt, live, etc. The picture is good overall, I think some of these shows were filmed in the 80's or early 90's, but still overall the picture is good. Also the animals are the center of attention, in other words there isn't some narrator appearing on screen (thank God). Overall, highly recommended! It's so many hours of footage, you can't go wrong with it.

4 out of 5 stars Great introduction to various wildlife.......2005-11-05

The content of this DVD set is excellent. Great filming and naration especially 'Untamed Africa'.Its a pity the full 13 part series of 'Untamed Africa' is not available on DVD to my knowledge. The picture quality of some of the DVDs could be better, but it is still good and enjoyable.
