Written, directed, and narrated by Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man), Ghost Elephants charts the search for the world’s largest land mammals. The documentary, which just released an official trailer, opens in limited release on February 27, 2026 and will be available on March 7th on National Geographic.
Ghost Elephants will stream on Disney+ and Hulu beginning on March 8th.
National Geographic Documentary Films and Abramorama released this description of Herzog’s latest documentary:
“In the mist-covered highlands of Angola, deep within its forests, a mystery endures: the elusive ghost elephants of Lisima, the potential living descendants of the largest land mammal ever recorded. Steve Boyes, conservation biologist and leader of the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project, is determined to prove their existence.
In order to find these elusive elephants, Boyes and fellow National Geographic Explorer Kerllen Costa have teamed up with three KhoiSan master trackers—Xui, Xui Dawid, and Kobus—to succeed where advanced technology could not.”
Herzog and Ariel León Isacovitch serve as producers, with Brian Nugent, Andrew Trapani, Emerson G. Farrel, David Sze, David B. Kirk, Terrence Battle, Richard Sneider, Christopher White, and Casey Graf executive producing. Additional executive producers include Carolyn Bernstein and Tim Horsburgh.
The coffee table book Okavango and the Source of Life by Steve Boyes, expanding on the documentary, will be released on March 3, 2026.
