Into the Congo with Ben Fogle
Fearless adventurer Ben Fogle embarks on his most extreme journey to date… into the Congo. One of the most mysterious and perilous places on earth. Ben travels deep into the Congo’s remote and stunning rainforests, to immerse himself with native tribes and to discover how ancient ways of life are still thriving. He will encounter some of the planet’s most awe-inspiring wildlife, coming face to face with the majestic and elusive lowland gorillas. From the shores of the mighty Congo River to the bustling streets of Brazzaville, Ben encounters inspiring people, from glass eating voodoo wrestlers to dandy-style fashionistas, and experiences the vibrant culture that makes Congo ‘The Beating Heart of Africa’.
