The HISTORY™ channel is presenting its big television event of the summer – Expedition Africa: Stanley & Livingston, which will make its premiere this Sunday, May 31 at 10 p.m./9 CST.
Twenty miles off the coast of eastern Africa, four modern-day explorers are sailing toward the unknown, the deep interior of Tanzania. They’ll travel over 900 miles through African terrain that is as stunning as it is fraught with danger.
Using only a compass and basic maps, they will attempt to recapture the spirit of one of the world’s most remarkable adventures -journalist Henry Morton Stanley’s perilous 1871 journey to find Dr. David Livingstone.
Their historic exploration has been captured by one of the premiere storytellers of our time, Mark Burnett. This is not a competition or a game. It’s a real-life adventure. Join other fans on Facebook: follow History on Twitter, and visit the official site http://www.history.com/expedition

a great wholesome family show it will be
I haven’t seen it yet, but it looks really interesting!
I simply love this series. How exciting to see Africa up close and personal without being there
I am looking forward to see people visit places for the first time just like expeditions long ago.
I like the concept of going on an actual expedition
I want to go on a safari. This will probably be as close as I get.
