Primal Survivor: Extreme African Safari With Wilderness Explorer And Survival Expert Hazen Audel
Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping journey as wilderness explorer and survival expert Hazen Audel takes on an epic multi-country expedition across East Africa’s legendary Great Rift Valley in the upcoming series, “Primal Survivor: Extreme African Safari.” The thrilling show is set to premiere on National Geographic across Africa (DStv 181) from Wednesday, 22 November 2023, at 9pm (CAT).
Hazen, a former biology teacher turned adventurer, has become a fan favourite for his daring escapades in some of the world’s most challenging terrains. This time, he sets out on a ground-breaking journey, covering 800 kilometres through the Great Rift Valley during migration season, a lifelong dream for the intrepid explorer.
The expedition promises encounters with diverse landscapes, from grasslands to caves, mountains, and river valleys, all on foot. Hazen’s ultimate goal is to witness Africa’s greatest natural spectacle—the great Wildebeest migration in the Serengeti.
‘Primal Survivor: Extreme African Safari’ is not just about surviving the elements; it’s a profound exploration of the relationship between humans, wildlife, and the environment. Hazen navigates the challenging landscapes of East Africa, encountering desert nomads, tracking elephants, facing treacherous waters, searching for rare black rhinos, and exploring coastal caves.
Throughout the journey, Hazen collaborates with local nomadic tribes, emphasizing the importance of understanding and respecting both the indigenous peoples and ecosystems of Africa. The show serves as a reminder that survival in the wild demands not only physical endurance and survival skills but also a deep connection with the environment and its inhabitants.
The expedition is divided into thrilling legs, each showcasing Hazen’s resilience and adaptability:
1. Desert Nomads: Hazen treks into the Chalbi Desert, encountering the nomadic Gabra tribe, and embarking on a quest to find their treasured singing well and a migrating camel train.
2. Valley of Giants: Descending the western wall of the Great Rift Valley, Hazen searches for a revered herd of elephants, collaborating with local tribes and spear fishermen to track the herd on the banks of the Kerio River.
3. Deadly Waters: Taking on mighty Lake Baringo, Hazen enlists the help of the Il’Chamus tribe to witness a million-strong flock of flamingos, building a raft to compete in a tribal lake race for the right of passage.
4. Rhino Mountain: Hazen explores Hell’s Gate gorge, navigating forests, caves, and canyons to reach Mt Suswa in search of rare black rhinos, collaborating with forest foragers and Maasai villagers.
5. Untamed Coast: Tackling East Africa’s Tropical Coast, Hazen embarks on an ocean voyage with the Mijikenda people to reach coastal coral caves, home to the largest multi-species bat colony globally.
6. Serengeti: In the grand finale, Hazen battles through harsh terrain with the Hadza tribe to reach the Serengeti, aiming to witness the Great Migration despite challenges posed by time and rain.
‘Primal Survivor: Extreme African Safari’ is a production by Icon Films for National Geographic. The series serves as a testament to Hazen’s adventurous spirit and his commitment to showcasing the beauty and challenges of the African wilderness.
For those eager to experience the excitement, mark your calendars for the premiere on Wednesday, 22 November 2023, at 9pm (CAT) on National Geographic across Africa (DStv 181). Get ready for an exhilarating journey through East Africa’s iconic landscapes with Hazen Hazen as your guide.
