Crossing lakes, bridging dongas and applying survival skills of ancient tribes to track down the clues which led us to the "lost legend" ... in the African wilderness ruled by Leopard, Lion, Elephant and Rhino - a great experience! Finding the legend on top of a majestic mountain and sharing a special breakfast with a spectacular view, was absolutely awesome! The ultimate surprise was to fly back to our base with helicopters!! We got the message: Outdare, Outsmart, Outperform!!
