Searching for unusual wildlife, I explore some of the lesser known parts of my home continent. Starting off in a jurassic haven of pterodactyl-like bats and prehistoric fossil fish in the coup-stricken Comoros archipelago, then the bubble-blowing forest elephants and lowland gorillas of the humid Central African Republic, I end up stranded 10km off the desert coast of war-shattered Angola when our boat breaks down in the final episode.
