African trek is more interesting than extreme.

What's the Story?
PRIMAL SURVIVOR: EXTREME AFRICAN SAFARI, an installment of the Primal Survivor franchise, stars survival expert Hazen Audel as he makes his away across Africa's Great Rift Valley to see rare wildlife in their natural habitats. From looking for herds of elephants in the Valley of the Giants to braving the Chalbi Desert in hope of finding a camel train, cameras follow Audel as he searches for specific animals while stumbling across other creatures and fauna during his journey. He also meets people from local tribes who share their knowledge with him. It's fascinating and dangerous, but luckily Audel has the skills to make it through.
Is It Any Good?
The interesting unscripted series offers viewers the chance to see what it is like in parts of Great Rift Valley that run through Southeast Africa. As Hazen Audel navigates his way through the valley's geographic trenches, which take him through deserts, mangroves, and other challenging terrain, he highlights the many dangers that he's potentially facing. But outside of this, Primal Survivor: Extreme African Safari isn't very extreme. In fact, the attempts to make the series appear more dramatic for entertainment purposes is unnecessary, given that the animals and nomadic tribes featured throughout are intriguing enough keep viewers engaged. If you like wilderness survival shows, or enjoy learning bits about the African wild, this is worth checking out.
