No Bubbles, but still Alberto Angela for Rai1 prime time on Jan. 1, 2024

It will not be Roberto Bolle who will open the New Year, television-wise, on Rai1, as he has for the past six years. "So many of you are asking me ... well yes, it’s really true: this year on January 1, in prime time on Raiuno there will be no Danza con me. After six editions I think we all got a bit used to starting the new year together. Especially together with Dance. I can’t say I don’t mind. On the contrary...," the Teatro alla Scala étoile wrote regretfully on his social media. Danza con me, theonly annual prime-time show on Rai1 dedicated to the world of dance, will in fact be replaced by Alberto Angela’s Wonders. On Monday, January 1, 2024 at 9 p.m.30 will be aired on Rai1 Meraviglie d’Africa - Namibia, a special of the series Meraviglie in which the well-known anchorman and popularizer will take viewers to Africa, to Namibia, “a land of desert and savannah, of large mammals and enchanting landscapes, but also of peoples who still live in balance with Nature,” as he himself wrote on his social media to announce the episode, inviting them to start 2024 with him.

After accompanying his viewers on the evening of December 25 to the Ville Lumière, Alberto Angela will take us on New Year’s Eve to Namibia, a country of extraordinary landscapes and wilderness and one of the last places where it is possible to see the most authentic Africa. We will start from the Skeleton Coast, one of the most dangerous stretches of sea in the entire Atlantic Ocean, where there are the remains of an ancient shipwreck lying in the middle of the desert, hundreds of meters from the coast. You will enter the Namib, the oldest desert on the planet, to reach Sossusvlei and explore some of the largest sand dunes in the world, which can reach 300 meters in height. It will proceed toEtosha National Park, one of Africa’s largest and oldest nature reserves, and then to the Kalahari Desert on the trail of some of the last hunter-gatherers. Alberto Angela spent the day with a group of women and men of the San people, visiting one of their villages, going hunting with them, and witnessing in front of the fire the “elephant dance,” an ancient healing ritual involving the whole community.

And again, he will take us to the Spitzkoppe, a geological wonder used by Stanley Kubrick for the opening scenes of 2001 A Space Odyssey; the “Petrified Forest,” which dates back 280 million years; and the environs of the city of Walvis Bay, where the dunes meet the sea and where flamingos and sea lions meet. Finally, the journey will end at the foothills of Vingerklip, a giant spur that stands alone in a panorama of canyons and valleys.

Wonders of Africa - Namibia is a production made by CPTV Rome, directed by Gabriele Cipollitti with photography by Antonio Palmadessa. Written by Alberto Angela with Fabio Buttarelli, Ilaria Degano, Vito Lamberti, Aldo Piro, Emilio Quinto.
