Short filmTranscript
00:28For most of us, the idea of
00:29catching lunch whilst being viciously stung
00:32by African killer bees seems unlikely.
00:37Because today, more than half of us live in cities.
00:42We've traded open horizons for walls
00:44and left just a handful of people still living by the land.
00:47They're the Earth's original explorers, the nomads,
00:50and as their land disappears, so does their way of life.
00:55It would be easy to believe that there's no area left
00:57still classed as truly wild.
01:00But you'd be wrong.
01:02There are still majestic pockets of land
01:04that are rugged, wild, and teeming with life.
01:07We found not just one hippo, but all the hippos.
01:11Whoa.
01:12This is the Tanzania you don't get to see.
01:15And the critical thing is, we need them for the health of our planet.
01:19I'm Lucy, and I'm an explorer.
01:21I've been leading expeditions all over the world for over a decade,
01:24and now I'm on a mission to take you with me.
01:27I've journeyed to some of the world's most distant corners.
01:30But this time, I'm trying to cross one of Africa's last great wildernesses on foot.
01:35A route that only a few have traveled, and never in this way.
01:39Once-in-a-lifetime experience.
01:40I feel like I've just stepped into a world, and I'm just trying to keep up.
01:43I want to show you the beauty.
01:45This place really is a paradise.
01:47The surprising world.
01:48Lots of African killer bees.
01:50This is mad, and the downright terrifying.
01:53Oh my god.
01:54I'll be joined by those who still live by the land, true nomadic hunter-gatherers,
01:58and learn how they're adapting in a world that's changing fast.
02:01I'm going to have to get used to the fact that things are going to get killed.
02:04As we journey across this harsh terrain, we'll face predators.
02:08She's looking right at us.
02:10Extreme heat, and days without water.
02:12I don't know if I've got enough for 24 hours.
02:14We'll need to come together and learn to work with the wild, not against it.
02:17I want to prove that this planet still has unspoilt places of all shapes and sizes still left to fight
02:23for.
02:24Because it has never been more important for us to build up our relationship with the natural world,
02:29and protect these last wildnesses at all costs.
02:32This is unbelievably spectacular.
02:44The expedition got underway as I joined the Hadza,
02:47the people who live by ancient traditions of hunting and gathering.
02:50Having to learn very, very quickly how to build a shelter like the Hadza do.
02:55OK, we're running.
02:56It wasn't long before the dangers of the bush revealed themselves.
02:59Yeah, I was put to the test, learning the ways of the hunt.
03:05I suppose we're eating monkeys tonight, then.
03:08I'm proving my worth as I harvested honey from Africa's aggressive killer bees.
03:12Oh, thank you for teaching.
03:14Our journey then began as we tackled our first mountain.
03:17It's just a reminder of what's to come.
03:20Because up here, mountains, down there, dangerous wildlife.
03:32Let's go.
03:50We're in East Africa, in Tanzania, journeying on foot through one of Africa's last great
03:55wildnesses, and home to all the creatures that make this continent iconic.
03:59From lions to elephants to hyenas, we're about 60 kilometres into our journey.
04:05And right now, we're making our way through one of the few wild forests left.
04:09And it doesn't take long for Julius, expert animal tracker, to spot something.
04:13and loving it.
04:17Look at that.
04:19Elephant'edang's here.
04:21Oh, yeah.
04:23Elephant.
04:23Elephant'edang.
04:25Yeah.
04:26That's a fresh elephant'edang right here.
04:32and yeah pretty scary
04:37ah so there's water there so the elephants have come
04:40you can literally see their footprints yeah so clear
04:47is that elephant bed? is that where they lay? they lay down and they eat yeah
04:58gentle giants from afar but up close they can be deadly and just a few months ago two people were
05:04killed here that's why we moved quietly but in a forest this dense it would be easy to stumble
05:10across them it's been a heavy pack day coming down the mountain and then now here and i mean it's
05:17beautiful kind of ancient forest with beautiful moss and kind of mystical really and it would be
05:23made much better if there wasn't elephants in here but there are elephants in here and even though
05:31it's great to be down from the mountain i can't say i'm like ecstatic about this phase i'm actually
05:38quite a bit anxious about it to be honest
05:42sometimes this elephant for this area they are very aggressive because all around the
05:48this forest there are villages farms area and elephants smelling beans farms they get angry
05:55yeah yeah we're going to eat and you guys come home oh
05:59yeah oh oh ball bo way oh
06:021
06:031
06:041
06:051
06:061
06:061
06:061
06:06now
06:08is that why you have the whistle?
06:111
06:111
06:112
06:111
06:112
06:121
06:122
06:122
06:121
06:131
06:131
06:132
06:144
06:152
06:163
06:161
06:17You see, you try to, for experience, if we are not aggressive...
06:23They will leave us.
06:24They will try.
06:25Yeah.
06:25We will try.
06:26Yes.
06:28Julius has given me a clear reminder of the real dangers we face doing this on foot.
06:33But it's not just elephants that we need to be worried about.
06:37We tried to find a place where it doesn't have a lot of tree.
06:40Why?
06:41If we came under the big tree...
06:43Yeah.
06:43Really?
06:43...then maybe the whole part would be somewhere there.
06:45Okay.
06:46Okay.
06:46So you have to basically weigh up.
06:49Do you want to be out in the open with the elephants?
06:50Or do you want to be with the leopards jumping on your tent?
06:54Yes.
06:54Find a place where it's safe.
06:56Yeah.
06:57How do you think Julius and Delali and Moses feel?
07:01Scared.
07:01You think so?
07:02Yeah.
07:03The good thing is Moses bring his...
07:05Magic.
07:06Do you think he'll do that tonight?
07:07Yeah.
07:08So we've got some magic.
07:09I think we need that.
07:10I think we need that as well.
07:11I think we need some Moses magic tonight.
07:13Magic.
07:14To get theical acts.
07:17And the seeds many men have left behind and they move together.
07:22And here and the driven happen.
07:25All the time ожi less.
07:33Moses has been telling us about one of his Aki traditions, which is essentially magic.
07:40and it can make the the camp disappear so that any predator or people anyone out to get us
07:47won't be able to see our camp so we can't go past that perimeter that he's made this sort of
07:54spell on i suppose so it's going to keep us safe tonight
08:22there's something like that
08:28can you remember
08:43oh it is fresh
08:49oh man it's fresh how can you tell it's fresh just by oh yeah yeah it is fresh oh man
08:55the elephants got
08:56close last night but thankfully they decided to stay away oh man maybe moses's magic is working
09:02after all
09:07now it's time to get going and if we can make it another 60 kilometers we'll be able to be
09:12clear of
09:12this forest
09:13the forest
09:20the very biggest forest
09:22it's a big one oh yes what is it sharp you should get sharp thank you if the animals don't
09:31get you out here
09:32the plants will
09:34i've been stinging
09:37you've been stinging everywhere yeah
09:40stinging nettles everywhere are you okay with this yeah
09:57you've been stinging everywhere are you okay we're not filming that other bit
10:16ow
10:17oh it's funny
10:21it's tickly
10:26i'm good how are you your english just suddenly you come out with sentences
10:31my yellow what is what's that good for the tummy
10:45this forest is a world of its own lush and alive and it's one of the few places still holding
10:51back the drought
10:52thousands of people still depend on this forest to survive for water for wood and for grazing land
10:57but those same needs are taking their toll trees are being illegally felled for timber and firewood
11:03and communities are burning whole sections and deforesting to make room for livestock
11:08without forests like this the rivers dry up the soil turns to dust and life here just becomes impossible
11:29you're tired today or are you good yeah i'm good yeah yeah no hiking but we are good because i
11:36think we
11:36have more energy you're explorers
11:43how the hell are you cutting your nail with a machete
11:46i am oddly amazed by this
11:53forget the nail scissors use machetes for your for your toenails
11:58getting the natural toothbrush
11:59toothbrush yes second stage of toothbrushing yes the brush very good very good
12:11how do you know the english for that natural toothbrush
12:27good morning the weather outside is pretty terrible so we're just waiting for it to hope visibility to
12:34get better because we wouldn't be able to see anything any animals if we left now and it's wet
12:42and we don't have that wood the guys don't have waterproof looking forward to getting into the warmer
12:48climates which should be in a few days we all need a bit of that we'll need to get into
12:54those warmer
12:55climates also so we can hunt again but we can recoup our supplies because our rations are running low
13:05we can't wait any longer for the weather to improve now we're moving into denser forest which means
13:10we're even more vulnerable to our biggest threat elephants the mist adds to the feeling of
13:18vulnerability like the forest is watching holding a quiet kind of authority so we are literally just
13:26following an elephant trail because it is the best we can do because otherwise it's just so dense
13:38i don't know how we're going to find a way through this without coming across the elephants
13:46okay elephants are close we don't need to make noise okay if we do come across an elephant and it's
13:54aggressive then the best thing you can do is try and put something between you and the elephant
14:02so just being aware of all the big trees around moving in forest isn't my team's natural environment
14:10i can tell they're nervous as am i
14:24it's been a little bit here this morning
14:41you can use a little bit here because the elephant is right there
14:55like around this area
14:56They've come right through.
15:00Four of elephants.
15:06There's more.
15:33We've run into an elephant. All we can do is get high and wait it out.
15:45It's gone. That was close.
15:53That's a way to get your heart pumping.
16:06This terrain is relentless and we're only covering a measly six kilometres per day.
16:11We've still 14 more to go until we're out of the forest.
16:14And with the weight of the rucksacks, the long days and now the close elephant encounter,
16:18we're all feeling worn out.
16:22Oh, this forest is pretty intimidating.
16:34The forest is going to be tough going for the next few days
16:37and I just hope the team will cope.
16:40A little bit worrying that they're this exhausted.
16:43I mean, I know they're not used to carrying this weight, but it's so crazy, isn't it?
16:48Because Julius and Dalali will walk 50 kilometres in a day.
16:52Not think of anything of it.
16:54But in this terrain.
16:57With the bags. Oh my God.
16:59Okay, I'm going to have to go.
16:59I need the loo.
17:02I hope that's not me getting ill.
17:04Yep, that was me having diarrhoea and actually saying that.
17:08I think I need to go again.
17:12I don't need to feel messy.
17:15It's not good to get sick this early on.
17:18Push through it.
17:20So to speak.
17:22Getting sick out here isn't ideal.
17:25Though I can't let it slow me down.
17:27The longer we stay in this forest, the greater the risk for all of us.
17:38I am very ready to get out from the forest.
17:41What's it been like?
17:42Scared.
17:44Moses.
17:45Did you say mum?
17:48Oh no.
17:50Shall we go?
17:51Shall we go?
17:52Okay.
17:53Yeah.
17:54Today maybe to go outside of the forest.
17:58We've got to get out.
17:58Yeah, we've got to get out now.
17:59This is very dangerous.
18:02Very dangerous forest.
18:05Let's get out of here.
18:14Thankfully I'm feeling better and we're finally leaving the forest.
18:18Heading into terrain where it should be easier to move and make progress.
18:23Goodbye.
18:24Bye.
18:27With the wet, misty forest behind us, we now enter the dry Hadza land.
18:32We've got to walk 40 kilometres through here and we'll reach our resupply.
18:36In the meantime, I'm hoping we'll be able to gather some food.
18:40After all, this is the kind of environment that Julius and Delali are used to.
18:46Everyone feels more at home here.
18:48Yeah.
18:50Julius has been busy.
18:52He had successfully found two Hadza men who are going to be escorting us through this area.
18:58And we're following them right now at a great pace.
19:02That's, I might add, going to help us a little bit figure this place out because our rations are so
19:08low now.
19:09So it's going to be a case of using the Hadza survival skills, putting what I've learnt to the test.
19:16But first, having to get used to these spiky, spiky bushes everywhere and trees.
19:35Ah, so we've just spotted some tubers so we can get some food.
19:43Our energy has been getting so low and we've been getting weaker.
19:47So this food comes just in time.
19:52You're going straight in for it.
19:55Is it obvious that we've run out of Russians?
20:00Lots of water in it.
20:02Yeah.
20:03So what have you found, Julius?
20:05Like bubblegum.
20:07Bubblegum?
20:08Yeah.
20:09We take and we pick it in the knife.
20:15Natural bubblegum?
20:16Yeah.
20:24Natural bubblegum actually has a minty taste.
20:28But chewing gum isn't going to sustain us for long.
20:31But then, we strike gold.
20:34Is it baobao tree?
20:36Yeah.
20:37We can go have shade under the baobao tree.
20:43The baobao tree is known as the tree of life
20:46and out here, it really earns the name.
20:48Among other things, it gives shade, stores water
20:51and its fruit is packed with nutrients.
20:54Is it?
20:55A little bit bitter, but it's very good.
20:58Chew it and then spit it.
21:00Yeah, chew until...
21:01Oh, let's go.
21:04Mmm, like a sweep.
21:07Moses is getting into it.
21:08Having some breakfast.
21:14We think there could be a bee's nest, but it's high up in the tree
21:18and the guys have suggested that it should be me who climbs it.
21:21Of course.
21:23The guys have gone, made lots of pegs,
21:26so I don't know how far I was thinking that I'm going to make it up there.
21:31No, very high.
21:32Yeah.
21:34The Hadza have been using this method of pegs
21:36to climb up to look for honey and more fruit
21:38for thousands of years,
21:39and it works surprisingly well.
21:45The Hadza has been using this method of pegs
21:47to climb up to look for honey and more fruit
21:54for thousands of years,
21:54and it works surprisingly well.
21:55Oh!
21:56Yes!
21:57Yes!
21:59Yes!
22:05Turns out, no bees nest,
22:07so the hunt must go on.
22:11You need a mallet to climb the baobao tree.
22:15This man knows how to use a mallet.
22:21We're still on a mission to find honey,
22:23and it's not long before Julius spots something.
22:27Sweet bees.
22:28Sweet bees.
22:29Yeah, sweet bees.
22:31They are small ones.
22:33They're little.
22:33Very tiny and not to bite.
22:35Oh, so we can just get...
22:36But they are honey.
22:36Oh, wow, okay.
22:37I've never heard of bees that don't sting.
22:43This insect?
22:44Oh, yeah, they're the bees.
22:45Oh, wow.
22:46Sweet bees.
22:47They're tiny, aren't they?
22:48Oh, you're eating the baby bees.
22:52Julius and Delalia just going in for the baby bees.
22:56I'll wait for the honey.
22:57Simple.
22:59The tree is cut in a way that means both the tree
23:01and the bee colony can survive,
23:03and you can just keep going back to it for more honey.
23:07Sweet honey.
23:08Dock doggers.
23:09Dock doggers.
23:10No, that's the big one, Lucy.
23:12Mm-mm.
23:17Mm-mm.
23:18Mm-mm.
23:21I can already tell the difference in Julius's mood.
23:27He feels so much more at home, as he would do in this environment,
23:32and, you know, he knows how to get the resources.
23:39Although that honey is good from the stingless bees,
23:43he definitely doesn't give the same amount of honey,
23:45so we're on the lookout for proper African killer bee honey hive.
23:51Honey hive, bee hive.
23:52So I have spotted a tree,
23:55and it looks like there's African killer bees in there,
23:58which means we can get a good meal, get some honey,
24:01and it's probably my opportunity to try and prove myself a little bit.
24:05These are the African killer bees?
24:07Yeah, the African killer bees.
24:09Yeah, okay.
24:10This is the one.
24:11This one first or that one?
24:13I'm feeling pretty confident after already having tried this a few weeks ago.
24:17But something about this time feels different.
24:20The stakes feel higher.
24:26We're using plenty of smoke, and it's not working.
24:30The bees go into full defence mode.
24:38I'm getting stung already.
24:50This is it.
24:51If I can get a lot of honey,
24:53we'll then have enough food to get us to our resupply.
24:57Wow.
24:58Ow!
25:00Okay.
25:01Do it out.
25:02Yeah, yeah.
25:03Yes.
25:04There.
25:07There.
25:08There.
25:10Oh!
25:11Yes.
25:13Oh!
25:13Yes.
25:15Oh, thank you.
25:17Oh, this is African killer bees.
25:19Oh!
25:19Yes, this is African.
25:20He's got one in his mouth.
25:23Oh!
25:26Any more?
25:27Here.
25:28Oh, yeah.
25:29In my hair.
25:31There's a lot of hair inside.
25:34Oh!
25:35Lots of African killer bees in my hair.
25:38There's no bees.
25:38There's no bees now?
25:39There's no bees.
25:40Okay.
25:40Yeah, there's already.
25:42Just hair.
25:43Go, go, go.
25:44Did it.
25:47Got the honey.
25:50No, I didn't expect that.
25:52The last one we did was much easier.
25:54Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:55It got your tongue?
25:56Yeah.
25:57Oh, no.
25:58You sure you don't want a tablet?
26:00This man is nails.
26:03Are you sure you don't want a tablet?
26:06It was very aggressive.
26:08I think I'll never see something like that.
26:11At least we've had lots and lots of honey.
26:26Our route is taking us closer to where Julius and Delali were born.
26:29And we want to bring a gift to the community.
26:32And there's one present that always goes down well in these parts.
26:36There's a red desert rose tree in this area used to make poison arrows.
26:40So we take a small detour to try and find it.
26:42How do you spot those?
26:44To the untrained eye.
26:46But for these guys, this is a tree to gather your necessities for poison arrow making.
26:54Poisoned arrows are used on the bigger, more dangerous animals like buffalo.
26:58And it means when the hads are hunting them, they don't have to get too close.
27:01A single buffalo can feed multiple families for weeks.
27:05It's incredibly valuable.
27:07And how much is that amount, how much poison is that?
27:13Maybe 10 to 15 hours.
27:15OK.
27:27The resupply and two days of rest is on everyone's mind right now.
27:38We've hit the edge of where Julius and Delali's community roam, and are greeted by one of the elders.
27:43Most of the tribe are still away hunting and gathering, but he's keen to start the poison arrow making, whilst
27:48we still have light.
27:55An elder has to be the one who cuts it.
27:58That's the sort of tradition.
28:00So this man is doing a fine job of cutting, boiling it, and then leaving it in there for 15
28:07to 30 minutes.
28:09Let's see what happens.
28:10I'm not getting too close to the smoke, because it will poison me quite literally.
28:21OK, three times you boil it, and I guess that just means that the poison gets more concentrated and concentrated.
28:25The solution gets blacker and blacker.
28:29The fumes are getting strong.
28:34It takes hours to prepare, slowly heating down into a thick black tarp.
28:44I don't think I'd be touching that with my bare hands.
28:48Deadly poison.
28:51You have to be really careful handling this.
28:53If you've got even a tiny cut on your hand, this poison will get into your bloodstream.
29:00Now that it's made, this community can use it in their hunts, and help feed their families.
29:06And that is how you make poison arrows.
29:08It's quite the process.
29:11I really do wonder who figured that out first, though.
29:14Guess we'll never know.
29:17We've hit our resupply location, and now it's time to stock up and prepare our food ahead of the next
29:22part of our expedition.
29:23We organise this resupply stop in advance, as this marks midway of our journey.
29:30Go this way.
29:34We're here to see the place where Julius and Delali were born.
29:37And they tell me that there's a familiar tree I have to see.
29:41And they're about to show me something I never could have imagined.
29:47This is the tree?
29:48Yes.
29:49Wow.
29:54The Baobao tree is naturally hollow.
29:56And for generations, this is where Hadza women have come to give birth.
30:01Come, come inside.
30:02Yeah, thank you.
30:03For safety, the women stay inside here for weeks before and after birth, cared for by the rest of the
30:09community.
30:10The tree offers shade and protection from wildlife.
30:13And somehow, it's surprisingly comfortable.
30:20And you were born in here.
30:22Yes, yes.
30:22That's amazing.
30:24Me and Delali were born here.
30:26Many people.
30:28Yeah.
30:29That's incredible that you and Julius were born in here.
30:33Many, many other people.
30:34Yeah.
30:37Can you imagine being born in a tree?
30:43It's great.
30:44It's really nice.
30:45It's really nice.
30:46I can see the appeal of giving birth in this tree.
30:51When I was told that you were born in a tree, I wasn't thinking of a tree as magnificent as
30:58this.
30:59I mean, it's amazing.
31:00It's amazing, yeah.
31:01It's amazing.
31:01People should live in this, like, full time.
31:04Yeah, full time.
31:04Like, all the time.
31:05Yes.
31:06It's very nice.
31:10It's really so cool.
31:13It's really cool.
31:22He's just reborn.
31:24Yeah.
31:24You just come.
31:26Ooh.
31:27New bear.
31:27New bear.
31:29This thorn bush is secured in the doorway to keep the likes of leopards out.
31:34And the door.
31:34New bear.
31:35New bear.
31:36New bear.
31:36New bear.
31:37New bear.
31:38New bear.
31:42New bear.
31:42New bear.
31:43New bear.
31:48New bear.
31:48New bear.
31:50New bear.
31:51New bear.
31:51New bear.
31:51New bear.
31:52New bear.
31:53New bear.
31:54New bear.
31:55New bear.
31:55New bear.
31:55New bear.
31:56New bear.
31:56New bear.
31:58New bear.
31:59New bear.
32:01New bear.
32:03New bear.
32:07New bear.
32:08New bear.
32:09It definitely makes our lives back home feel very soft.
32:13We do not have it bad.
32:15We like to complain, us Brits.
32:16We like to moan.
32:18But come on, it's perspective.
32:23Yeah, that's what these trips give you, it's perspective.
32:35The sun is setting and we have to continue our journey tomorrow.
32:39But first, I want to get one final gift for the Hadza community.
32:43Dilali suggested I purchase a goat from a different neighbouring pastoralist tribe
32:47so that we can all have a party.
32:50But of course, this goat isn't to be a pet.
32:53It's for dinner.
32:56So I've been left with the goat.
32:58The goat's not having a very good time.
33:00I'm not having a very good time listening to it.
33:02Now he's quiet, fed him food so that he can have a last meal.
33:10Moses is given the honour of slaughtering the goat.
33:13And for someone from the Aki tribe, this is a big moment.
33:17The guys wouldn't offer this role unless they saw him as one of their own.
33:23So the goat has been slaughtered and I guess now it's time to cut the meat
33:28and get the party going.
33:31So he's like Hadza.
33:33He's like Hadza.
33:34Yes.
33:35Moses is proving himself now by being the one to cut the meat.
33:40So it's a day of proving ourselves.
33:46Julius is saying that only the older men are allowed to eat the goat's bollocks
33:51and I can't say I'm too upset about hearing this news.
33:56Before everyone can eat, the delicacy must first be enjoyed
33:59by the oldest men in the community.
34:01Julius being one of them.
34:04Good.
34:06Yeah.
34:07Nice one.
34:08Nice one.
34:09Me?
34:10I thought it was only men, older men.
34:14They're difficult to women.
34:16Only men.
34:18So, but I'm allowed to taste?
34:20Oh God.
34:22I thought I'd just got away with that.
34:24You are thirsty.
34:25You are lucky to eat it.
34:27This is the boll.
34:28Not all women.
34:29No, I'm lucky to eat this.
34:31Okay.
34:34I'm the first woman to eat a goat boll.
34:38Okay.
34:42That's what I'm eating.
34:44Oh my God.
34:46Let's just say it's not very chewable.
34:48So I attempt one big swallow.
34:53It's gone.
34:54I ate it.
34:56New bear.
34:57New bear, yeah.
34:58I can't believe I just did that.
35:00That was an experience.
35:02I've been trying to avoid meat so much and then I just ended up eating a testicle because
35:08women don't usually go off with a testicle.
35:12Oh my God, I can taste it still.
35:15That taste is not going away any time soon, is it?
35:18I'm gross.
35:20And with dinner over, it's now time to get dressed for the party.
35:25Oh yeah, that's nice and tight.
35:28What do you think, Moses?
35:30Wow.
35:32Wow.
35:38Wow, thank you.
35:39New bear.
35:40That's amazing.
35:41Okay, what do you think?
35:43Oh, we have yet to think.
35:45Nice one.
35:46Wow.
35:47Oh.
35:49Oh.
35:49Oh.
35:52Oh.
35:53Oh.
35:54Oh.
35:54Oh.
35:56Oh.
35:56Oh.
35:57Oh.
35:59Oh.
36:02Oh.
36:08Oh.
36:17Oh.
36:30The party has put everyone in a positive mood, which is exactly what we need, because what
36:35lies ahead is going to be tough.
36:38We're about to climb high up into the escarpment before heading into the land of the lions.
36:54Good morning. Well, last night was amazing. Yesterday was amazing.
36:58And there was another sandstorm or dust devils that got into my tent.
37:04As you can see, I'm incredibly dirty. I'm going to try and wash my face.
37:09And then we've got a big day today. So, yeah, phase two.
37:15Phase two begins once we get over the escarpment, this high ridge that guards the land ahead and the gateway
37:21before the Serengeti.
37:23We need to pick the right route. We could be up there for days, so it's time to say our
37:27goodbyes and continue with the expedition.
37:29There, there.
37:31I met the women. Very friendly and welcoming. Time to go.
37:39Here we go, here we go, here we go again.
37:43Hi-yi-yi. Go, Moses, go.
37:48Oh, good. Listen.
37:50We're going to get a photo.
37:54We're just starting our ascent of the escarpment.
37:58It's a hot, hot day.
38:02Water is going to be a problem for the next few days and the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius.
38:07So we're each carrying eight litres.
38:09And despite all having water blathers to hold it, Dilali picks this red bucket.
38:14It's a bucket filled with water. It's not just an empty bucket.
38:19Heat injury can strike quickly here. There's no time to grit teeth and push through.
38:23I insist we stop.
38:26It's just coming up.
38:28I'm just trying to get Moses to stop and change.
38:30He's currently wearing black trousers.
38:34It's far too hot for that, so I'm a little worried about him.
38:37I'm just trying to make him stop and change.
38:42You okay, Moses?
38:43Yeah, I'm worried about you.
38:47You hot?
38:49No, no.
38:50You good?
38:52There he is. He's got his shorts on.
38:55I get the feeling that this challenge so soon after our celebrations and resupply has been a bit of a
39:01reality check for the team.
39:02I'm hoping that once we get to the top, we'll find our groove again.
39:06Sweaty.
39:09Can't sweat too much. I don't have too much water.
39:12We've been carrying all of our water, but our supplies are dwindling.
39:19So let's hope we can get over this ridge and down to some sort of water before we run out.
39:30I'm just looking for a spot that we can camp.
39:35I think this will be good.
39:37A little bit of shade, a bit of security.
39:41We've carried all of our water, so that's okay.
39:45And I think we'll be pretty safe here.
39:49Animal watching.
39:52Yeah.
39:53Must be safe.
39:55Mm-hmm.
40:00A little scorpion.
40:03Baboons around here.
40:05Getting closer to the lions.
40:08That's why I'm asking.
40:09Yeah.
40:09You make fire because of elephants.
40:13Yeah.
40:14Yeah.
40:14Here is a good place.
40:16It's a mountain.
40:17There's rocks here.
40:18So it's good.
40:18Yeah.
40:19For running away.
40:21Yeah, running away.
40:22Yeah.
40:23But if you run away, please wake me up as well.
40:26Don't leave me sleeping.
40:29The fire might keep the elephants away tonight, but it doesn't seem to be stopping other unexpected visitors.
40:37There's someone watching us.
40:47We've got visitors.
40:50They're from the Toga tribe.
40:52The Toga tribe.
40:53Yeah.
40:54There's a lot of Toga.
40:55This is a lot.
41:01Yeah.
41:01Yeah.
41:03The Toga tribe are a semi-nomadic tribe who live around this area.
41:07Known for their stealth and fierce warrior history, our presence here draws attention.
41:13Delali chooses to sleep by the fire to keep watch.
41:19We had no problems with people last night.
41:22Just a scorpion just here, but also we've got some people visiting right now.
41:27Just saying hello.
41:28As always, it's always something.
41:31Word has clearly spread within the Toga tribe that we're here.
41:35Their silence is deafening.
41:38I hope it's just curiosity.
41:47I'm really, really excited to see what's on the other side once we make it over this and get to
41:55the ridge.
41:57Because then the Serengeti awaits.
42:00It's just...
42:01Oh, over there.
42:05A huge giraffe.
42:07You're amazing.
42:08It's my first giraffe.
42:10Yeah.
42:10In the wild.
42:14The giraffe right there.
42:16With its long neck looking right at us.
42:18Yes.
42:18We must be getting closer to the Serengeti.
42:20Yeah.
42:22Definitely getting closer to the wildlife heart.
42:27One of the wildlife hearts of the whole world.
42:30The Serengeti.
42:35Big walking day.
42:37Tomorrow we'll get to the Serengeti.
42:40And right now, it's time for the best moment of the day.
42:43Which is to take off my shoes.
42:53I am feeling quite weak.
42:55I think it's the food.
42:58I'm not eating enough.
43:00Dilali's role in the team is hunter-gatherer.
43:02But when there's nothing around, it's time to bring out the ugali.
43:06Ugali is East Africa's staple food, made from maize flour.
43:10Easy to make and basically rocket fuel.
43:13We've been saving our big pack for moments like this, when rations are low and we need the energy.
43:18Especially with our biggest challenge yet ahead of us.
43:21The Serengeti.
43:23Roly, roly, roly.
43:25Roly, roly.
43:26Roly, roly.
43:27Roly, roly.
43:27Roly, roly.
43:28Roly.
43:28Roly, roly.
43:29Roly.
43:29And, tfff.
43:30Chef de lally.
43:33Chef de lally.
43:34Chef de lally.
43:35Chef de lally does cook su gali.
43:36That's the cooking show.
43:38I'm not very good at eating with gali.
43:41Because it's really hot.
43:42And it's like basically putting yourself, your hands, in mashed potatoes.
43:45And I just can't eat it quick enough because it's so hot.
43:49A bit of bread roll.
43:51A bit of toast.
43:53Including toast.
43:55That's really good actually.
43:58It's better than goat's testicle.
44:01I'll tell you that.
44:03Mmm.
44:04The meal marks the end of one chapter, and the beginning of the next challenge.
44:09We're doing things a little bit differently.
44:11We're going to be walking through the Serengeti.
44:14And so we've got special permits to do that.
44:16We have to have our wits about us.
44:19I've got to learn fast and be very aware.
44:24Because let's just see how much wildlife there is.
44:27We all think that we know the Serengeti.
44:29But I think this is a way of really showing a part that you never get to see before.
44:34And I can't wait to find out what that part is.
44:35I think we're going to find out about the Serengeti.
44:39I'm not worried about that.
44:43I'm kind of worried about that.
44:48I'm going to find out in the next video.
44:50I'm going to be able to find out what's going on later than I have to find out.
45:05Let's go.
45:23Here we go.
45:24Santa, Santa.
45:31Watch out.
45:33Go ahead.
45:35Wow.
45:36Look at this incredible view that we've got now that we're at the top.
45:46It fills up the soul being in scenery like this.
45:51It's incredible.
45:54Yes.
45:55Yes.
45:59The last four weeks have pushed us, but it's nothing compared to what lies ahead in the Serengeti.
46:09We take on the Serengeti.
46:11As soon as we arrived here, there's just so much wildlife.
46:14Amazing.
46:15And are exposed to everything the wild throws at us.
46:18Our water collecting has been made far more dangerous than expected.
46:22Cross paths with lions.
46:24Whoa.
46:25He's right by camp.
46:26And run dangerously low on water.
46:28I don't know if we've got enough for 24 hours.
46:31Stepping closer to our final hurdle, Mount Lengai, the volcano.
46:35This is it.
46:36The final push.
46:37Well, it's the final push.
47:03Let's see.
