New explorers. In the footsteps of Doctor Livingstone

Description

When Dr. David Livingstone set out on his final voyage to Africa in the late 19th century, the "Dark Continent" was still a place of wonder and mystery to the Western World. Today, Africa deals with the same problems of pollution, population growth and political turmoil that dog much of the world, yet the aura of mystery somehow remains. Join an incredible expedition into the heart of today's Africa with Dr. David Livingstone Wilson, the great-grandson of the famous explorer, as he retraces the course of his illustrious forefather's last sojourn into the unknown. As the young Livingstone ventures through what is now Tanzania, Burundi and Zambia, he opens a 'time capsule' into the past of this vast continent, providing a unique view of the changes of the past century and what is still shrouded by mystery.
