In the heart of Africa, 20 elite Americans attempt to take on nature and win as they join the planet's largest and most gruelling mammal migration. Their mission: walk 200 miles of the deadly Serengeti alongside 1.3 million migrating wildebeest. It's the middle of the dry season and the blistering sun is ravaging the southern plains, so to survive the wildebeest chase the rains north through Tanzania, towards the lush grasses of the Maasai Mara in Kenya. It's an incredibly dangerous journey through a landscape dominated by apex predators, including lions, hyenas and crocodiles. Tens of thousands of wildebeest won't make it - so how will the humans fare with no map, no compass and minimal supplies? 12 days into their brutal journey, 5 of the Herd has already tapped out. Now, the Herd is recovering from a lion attack on their camp and they stumble on a Wildebeest carcass just 100 yards from their camp. The main migration has moved on the Herd realise they are now on the menu. Rattled, they hustle to refill their water and push on through the plains. Racing to leave lion country with no maps, the Herd trek over a mountainous plateau and hit a 1000 foot cliff face. With limited equipment and zero options, the Herd draw on their unique skills to find a path down. As they reach the Ndoha Plains the Herd is faced with their biggest challenge yet - one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the Serengeti - the croc infested Mbalageti River.
