Part 2: Livingstone in Africa

Overview

James Cracknell travels to Southern Africa, to tackle some of the defining moments of one of the World’s most celebrated explorers, Dr David Livingstone. Coming face to face with some of the continent’s most dangerous wild animals, Cracknell encounters terrain that’s barely changed since Livingstone opened up and chartered a million square miles of African interior. Determined to follow Livingstone’s route down the Zambezi, James paddles a dug out canoe down the rapids of this mighty river, but finds the route to Victoria Falls, Livingstone’s most famous discovery, is well guarded by one of the continent’s biggest killers.
