The Dogons of Mali are Africa's oldest civilization; an elder takes a flight in Sebastian's balloon.
During his search for the Venda tribe in South Africa, Sebastian injures his back, visits a witch doctor, and gives a healer a ride in his balloon.
After meeting the Topnaars, a tribe in the Namib Desert, Sebastian encamps with the Himba people of Kaokoland, whose way of life could be changed by a dam.
On a search for one of the last remaining tribes, Sebastian helps an old man make bricks for his adobe, feasts with nomads, and meets a tribe of only women.
