Africa's Deadly Dozen

The search is on to find Africa's most deadly snake. Boomslangs, rinkhals and black mambas - these are three of the deadliest snakes in the world that can kill their victim whether man or beast with a single bite. In the wilds of Africa, hundreds of people are bitten every year. From Cameroon to Kenya, snakes silently follow their prey, even if it leads them into people's homes. AFRICA's DEADLY DOZEN travels across this continent in search of these deadly reptiles and meets the world's top snake hunters, witch doctors, snake lovers and snakebite victims, who all have a story to tell about these fearsome snakes.
