Wilderness with Simon Reeve

Adventurer Simon Reeve travels through the Congo, the second-greatest rainforest on Earth. In one of the toughest journeys he's ever undertaken, he travels five hundred miles across dense tropical jungle, heading for the region of Salonga, where he searches for one of the rarest and most iconic creatures on the continent: the bonobo. But will he be able to track down his elusive target?

Simon Reeve voyages across the Coral Triangle. It’s a huge wilderness of tropical seas and jungle clad islands in the southwest corner of the Pacific that's been described as the Amazon of the seas. Surrounded by the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia, the Coral Triangle is one of the most beautiful and biodiverse corners of our oceans, crucial to the health of the wider marine environment.

Simon Reeve travels across the Kalahari in southern Africa. Covering half a million square miles, it's one of the last great unspoiled African wildernesses. Simon tracks wildebeest with one of the region's indigenous groups, the San, who are renowned for their hunting techniques. And he visits the Okavango Delta, which is transformed each year by rain, from a desert to an oasis of greenery.
