Expedition Africa is an eight-part reality television series produced by Mark Burnett and airing on The History Channel. The series 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.
