About this show

This unforgettable journey takes Griff from the coastal plains of Morocco in North Africa, through the great deserts of Egypt and Sudan in East Africa, down through the savannahs of Kenya and Tanzania, across to the vast forests of Zambia and, finally, to the southernmost tip of prosperous South Africa. Often running alongside the famous River Nile, the world's longest river, Griff highlights incredible landscapes and introduces us to some remarkable people. Progress isn't always smooth as he contends with closed borders and missed trains. He takes it all in good humour and revels in this amazing trip of a lifetime. Africa truly is like nowhere else on earth.
