An injury during an intense gauntlet competition puts a legend at risk. International survivalists must bring unique skills to torch, bridge, and deadfall trap builds. Competitors scramble to stay safe as rhinos circle their camps at night.

Survivalists go through the uncomfortable moment of meeting their challenge partner without clothes; the journeys and problems of finding clean water and setting up shelter begin.

Contestants face the harsh African savanna, divided into tribes racing to secure fire, water and shelter before nightfall. The merciless environment brings freezing nights and scorching heat, while predators hunt in the shadows.

Tensions flare when different personalities and survival methods clash; unfair workload division and power imbalances trigger heated disputes within the tribes.

Some survivalists prioritise building a shelter, others search for a safe water source. Personal conflicts arise as the survivors build shelters and look for a source of water in a region with a big problem: it's infested with ticks.

One tribe face a potentially fatal mishap, another lose a hunting item, while a third get lucky; as days unfold, individual differences intensify, spawning division and discord.
