Plot
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. He travels into the Congo's remote and rainforests to immerse himself with native tribes and culture.

Episode 1: Ben arrives in the capital Brazzaville, before setting off into the wilderness to visit a remote tribe living deep in the jungle - the semi nomadic Mbendjele BaYaka, who have never been filmed before.

Episode 2: On the second leg of his journey, Ben visits a market selling threatened species for food, and heads deeper into the Congo wilderness to fulfill his dream of seeing wild gorillas.

Episode 3: Ben leaves the jungles to Lower Congo. First he stops to admire the mighty Kongo river, which amasses water from nine countries, enough if dammed to power a third of Africa with hydro-energy. Despite the powerful current, fishermen dive there, but their catch is plummeting badly due to environmental deterioration. The journey end sin capital Brazzaville, housing a third of then national population, across the stream facing still much larger Kinshasa, capital of war-torn big neighbor DR Congo (ex-Belgian, ex Zaire). There he meets the Sapeurs, a bizarre society of local dandies who design their own, absurdly extravagant frock. No less flamboyant and bizarre are the outfits and rituals of the local obsession, catch wrestling in a weird superstitious version.
