Description
In AFRICA TREK, husband and wife travelers Alexandre and Sonia Poussin undertake an extraordinary and unusual journey on foot — from Cape Town to Jerusalem — to rediscover a land few know and even fewer understand. More than travel adventure, this 12-part series captures Alex and Sonia's exhausting physical and emotional crossing over three years, 10 countries and 8,600 miles. Their weary but determined voices reveal a journey filled with difficulties, pitfalls, joys, pains and unexpected encounters. The courageous couple battle fatigue, extreme thirst, blazing sun, torrential downpours, tsetse flies, prowlinghyenas, malaria, raging fevers and more. But along the way, they also discover an incredibly generous Africa, rich with heart, humor and life. Hundreds of families welcome them into their lives for anywhere from a few hours to several days. They share communal meals in the mountains of Lesotho, join the Barbaigs in a ritual dance, witness a marriage in the suburbs of Johannesburg and spend a night visiting the townships of South Africa.
