Charley is hoping to encounter rhinos, hippos, elephants, crocodiles and giraffes.
On a ‘wilderness experience on wheels’, he spends three days traversing the Lebombo Eco-Trail, enjoying the sounds and scents of the bush, getting up close to Africa's greatest wild animals and enjoying traditional bushveld dinners around the campfire.

This week, Charley meets a research team who study scorpions and risks life and limb learning how to handle one of the world’s most venomous creatures.
Heading into the centre of the country, Charley gets behind the wheel of some of the giant trucks and machines used in the open iron ore mines.
Moving west, the team spends two nights learning the way of the nomad with the San tribe in the desolate Kgalagadi National Park, before reaching the western coast.
Venturing into the ocean once more, Charley goes diving in the open waters for diamonds, before ending the episode, and the series, in true Boorman style – leading a convoy of over 300 bikers from the Meer lust Winery through the beautiful mountains and beaches of Cape Town, to Signal Hill, renowned for its spectacular views.
