Episodes
Season 1
Rwanda
+Blanketed by mists and bordered by dense jungles filled with rampaging beasts, Rwanda is a country cloaked in mystery. This tropical land of fire and forest lies at the crest of the mountainous backbone of Africa. Home to the African great apes and some of the continent's most mysterious landscapes - from the Virunga volcanoes, to rich rainforest to exploding lakes.
Ethiopia
+Ethiopia is a wilderness of extremes - from lush lakes to towering peaks - where life has had to adapt in order to survive. This ancient land has cradled life since the dawn of time, and beyond the scorched deserts lie fortified mountains that conceal natural treasure troves of wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.
The Sahara
+The Sahara, the largest desert in the world: an extreme environment covering a vast swathe of northern Africa. With hardly any water or food available, on the surface, it appears to be a desolate empty land. But hidden beyond the parched exterior, specialist species have adapted to this harsh landscape.
