James Cracknell travels to Southern Africa, to tackle some of the defining moments of one of the World’s most celebrated explorers, Dr David Livingstone. Coming face to face with some of the continent’s most dangerous wild animals, Cracknell encounters terrain that’s barely changed since Livingstone opened up and chartered a million square miles of African interior.

Thousands of ordinary Americans died as they trekked across North America with little supplies or survival skills. James will follow in the footsteps of 28 year old William Manly, one of the bravest men of the 1849 exodus. He’ll pit himself against mountains, deserts, and wild rivers, to discover what Manly went through, as he risked his life to rescue families stranded in America’s Death Valley.

Part 4: Shipwrecked
Episode 4
James Cracknell is washed up on a remote island in the shark-infested waters of the South Pacific, as he explores how marooned crews of some of the worst shipping disasters survived. Many drowned without a trace while others found themselves stranded on uninhabited islands, without the means to survive. James will investigate the 1907 Dundonald shipwreck, and discover how her crew survived against all odds, eventually escaping with their lives following seven months stranded on an island. James will learn how to survive on a tiny island, with few resources, as he builds a makeshift coracle and plans his escape across rough seas, past Great White sharks.
