Climate changes and population growth
are threatening the natural equilibrium
of our planet.
Nowhere is the challenge
greater than in Africa
where the population
is projected to grow
from one to two billion
within a few decades.
More land is needed each year
to provide for this rapid growth
and vast areas of African wilderness
are vanishing at an alarming pace.
In years to come,
what remains of the untouched wilderness
on this vast continent
could shrink to a few pockets of fenced
in game reserves
that will be little more
Before it is too late,
we want you, to join us
on a safari adventure
across the continent
to survey what remains
of the real African wilderness.
Look who's join us.
Welcome, it's good to have you on board,
I am Mara Douglas-Hamilton...
and I am Kevin Richardson.
Welcome to Namibia.
We're going to take you on
an incredible journey
across Africa all the way
to Kilimanjaro.
And remember there is just one rule,
please keep your hands and feet
inside the vehicle at all times...
Oh yeah, remember to have some fun.
Let's.
this incredible experience with Mara.
Born in a family of prominent
conservationists in Kenya,
she was raised among wild elephants.
Inspired by her close
connection to nature,
she has explored the remotest corners
of the continent
and is active in the fight
As a child born in the suburbs
of Johannesburg,
Kevin who always had
a keen interest in animals
was not pre-destined to become
a world renowned wildlife expert.
But at the age of 23, a chance encounter
with the owner of
a Lion Park in South Africa
ignited his passion for big cats.
With a lot of hard work
and an amazing gift,
he managed to be accepted
as one of their own.
Kevin broke safety rules in the book.
Joining us on the expedition
are location manager, Marc Baar,
field engineer, Hal Bowker
and balloonist, Dany Cleyet Marrel.
Dany has customized a balloon,
called the Cinebulle,
especially for this adventure.
Instead of a heavy basket,
the passenger sits on
a lightweight aluminum bench,
increasing the balloon's flying range
dramatically.
The propeller at the back
gives us the ability to steer
instead of merely drifting along
with the wind current.
As we take off on our maiden flight,
it is reassuring to know that
Dany is one of the world's
leading ballooning expert.
He has lead countless...
scientific hot air balloon expeditions
on all continents
and is the inventor
of a wide range of flying devices
used in the famous canopy raft missions.
We will count on Dany
to get access to some remote parts
of the African Wilderness.
The only draw back of the Cinebulle
is that it can only take one passenger.
So Kevin and I will have to take turns,
but today the pleasure is all mine.
My hair got all messed up!
A short distance from the dunes,
of the oldest canyons on earth,
the gateway to one of last safe havens
Numbering in the hundreds of thousands
a century ago,
illegal poaching caused their population
to dwindle to less than 2500.
Thanks to aggressive protection programs
in countries like Namibia,
the species recovered somewhat
over the last decade to over 5000.
But poaching is on the rise again.
Around 120 black rhinos
were killed last year alone.
Thought to have healing powers,
rhino horn is in fact mere keratin,
the same substance as our fingernail.
