    East Africa Ethiopia, Kenya & Tanzania: BBC’s An African Journey - Part 2

    ‘Explore an Africa that is in my view is too often forgotten, but too important to ignore.’

    Jonathan Dimbleby’s  Africa consists of more than 50 countries. Each one is unique. With its population of more than a billion, Africa – where humans originated at least 100,000 years ago – is the most culturally and ethnically diverse continent on the planet.

    Starting in Ethiopia where he was the first journalist to report the 1973 famine, Dimbleby discovers the great strides being made to safeguard the country from future catastrophes. In Kenya he finds out how mobile phones are revolutionising small businesses and even the lives of Maasai tribes. In Tanzania he joins in a football match with the judges and guards of Africa’s own Human Rights Commission and meets the street kids in Dar-es-Salaam who are building an international profile for their music.
