About 54.60 Africa
The fate of Africa rests solely on the zeal and chivalry of eleven adventurous friends. Their ancestral ‘mother’ gives them seven days to prove to the rest of the world that their fabulous continent is worth celebrating and not burying.
Their journeys traverse 54 countries, countless boundaries, and endless risks. Lives, history, and destinies are rewritten forever.
It’s worth the applause!
