| Expedition Africa follows four modern day explorers, Benedict Allen is an explorer, author, and filmmaker. Benedict's adventures have taken him from Siberia to South America, where he once completed an eight month journey to become the first outsider ever to cross the Amazon basin at its widest point in Expedition Africa DVD. Nevertheless, he does not have much experience in Africa, Mireya Mayor is an anthropologist, wildlife correspondent, and former cheerleader for the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Mireya, who has a PhD and Master degree in anthropology, is a two-time Emmy Award-nominated correspondent for the National Geographic Channel, Pasquale Scatturo is an adventurer and geophysicist who has led expeditions all over the world, including three to Mount Everest, and Kevin Sites is an award-winning war correspondent and author who has worked for ABC, NBC and CNN. As a backpack journalist, he covered every major conflict in the world in one year for Yahoo! News, 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 in Expedition Africa on dvd, the explorers on the show have 30 days to complete the 970-mile journey deep into the interior of Tanzania.
