Andrew tries a lone expedition to cross the Central Kalahari Game Reserve - on his own. Not even a camera crew was permitted to go along. The trip failed. You'll have to watch to find out why.
When you don't succeed... try again. Andrew has another attempt at the same route in the same way, (see episode 2) one year later and succeeds. Compelling viewing.

The Waterberg part-2. More Leopard conservation as one is caught and tagged. Pulling trailers in slippery ground is explored before Andrew with Land Cruiser 200 and Explorer off-road caravan head for the Kruger National Park.
Famous and beautiful Kruger National Park, off-roading and lions on the prowl.
Time for some off-road fun as Andrew gets beaten up in the Hilux rally car, rides a race track in a Ferrari and then, to close the series, drives from 200 to 300 kph in under six seconds, in the world's fastest 4x4 - a 1500hp Lamborghini Gallardo.

Dombe Grande is an oasis in the true sense of the word, and then south to the coastal plains of Namibia. The Angolan coast is sublime. We catch garrick on the beach and cook them, go diving on a reef and walk inside an ancient river (yes... inside a river!).
Andrew suggests a new name for a spectacular landscape: 'Utah Canyon'. The he visits Lake Arco, an abandoned military base and drives the astonishing Libas pass as he begins heading back into central Angola. In the second half of the show, he enters Botswana with the Okavango River near Shakawe, travels the Okavango pan handle and ends the show on an excursion to the magic Tsodilo Hills.

Andrew explores the Delta with one night at Delta Camp followed by a night on Chief's Island. From the Okavango, Andrew follows the water as it reaches Lake Ngami and enters the Boteti.
Andrew remembers the many strong flowing and turbulent rivers that he has followed, only to arrive now at the very last vestige, a tiny trickle in the long dry bed of the Boteti River. The locals say that not since 1974 has the river flowed there. Andrew pours in the water collected in episode-5. The series concluded with a brief recap of what has been one of his greatest adventures.
