5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best, April 17, 2000

This review is from: National Geographic's Lake Tanganyika - Jewel of the Rift [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I spend a lot of time watching nature shows, especially National Geographic. Jewels of the Rift is one of my favorites. The musical score and narration are unsurpassed. My students are fascinated by it and just love the cichlids. We've watched over and over and over again. Just fascinating!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Documentary, November 14, 2009

This review is from: National Geographic's Lake Tanganyika - Jewel of the Rift [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As mentioned in other reviews, if you are a fish enthusiast and especially an African cichlid enthusiast then this is a must have. It offers incredible insight into the fish that we all love and keep in our home tanks. Even if you aren't a fishkeeper the film is fantastic, but it's an extra level of interest for me when I can see the fish that I keep in their natural environment. I'm desperately trying to find this on DVD if anyone knows where to look!

I have been a rift cichlid enthusist for years and you can't get a better video on african cichlids than this. And you get to watch a nature video to the soothing narration of Avery Brooks. You can't beat that! It covers pretty much every category of Rift cichlids and eve gives information on other inhabitants such as otters and electric catfish. It really is a beautiful video. If you love Blue Planet, you'll love this.
