History Channel: Expedition Africa (3-DVD)

This riveting reality series follows four modern-day adventurers as they trek across Africa, retracing the path Henry Morton Stanley followed nearly 100 years prior in his quest to find Dr. David Livingstone. Equipped only with the gear Stanley might have carried – including rudimentary compasses, journals, and antiquated maps – the travelers set out into the desert where they do battle with dehydration, monsoons, wildlife, and disease. This collection features all eight episodes of Expedition Africa: "Malaria Claims an Explorer," "First Victim," "Hunters Become the Hunted," "Danger in the Desert," "Heart of Darkness," "African Monsoon," "Lost in Africa," and "The Final Chapter."
