Expedition Africa is an eight-part reality television miniseries that originally aired from May 31, 2009 (2009-05-31) to July 12, 2009 (2009-07-12) on History.
Produced by Mark Burnett, the program follows four modern day explorers—a navigator, a wildlife expert, a survivalist, and a journalist—as they substantially retrace H.M. Stanley's famed expedition to find Dr. David Livingstone.
Their route deviates somewhat from Stanley's in that it includes a treacherous crossing of the Uluguru Mountains, which Stanley circumvented.
Additionally, whereas Stanley took roughly 8 months to find Livingstone, the explorers on the show have 30 days to complete the 970-mile journey deep into the interior of Tanzania.
So far, the cast consisted of four members (listed in alphabetical order below).
