Join Steve Backshall on one of his best ever missions to find some of the most exciting and deadly animals in Southern Africa. Steve braves the big waves of the Durban coast to get almost too close for comfort to a pack of 30 hungry blacktip sharks. Next on his list is a flight with the mighty black eagle, and then he abseils down a cliff to come face to face with a huge swarm of angry killer bees. Undaunted by a painful sting, he heads over the border into Namibia, where he has a close encounter with a sidewinder before getting hands on with the ultimate Africa predator, the lion!
