Episode 4: Suriname: Ghost River
Summary
Steve and his team are venturing into the heart of Suriname to kayak through an unnamed river that will take them through a forest unchanged for millions of years.
Review
“It’s the highlight of my career in expeditions, and one of the proudest moments of my life.” So says Steve Backshall at the end of a venture that meanders pleasantly for much of the episode: we’re in Suriname in north-eastern South America, a very sparsely populated nation offering the chance to journey down rivers few humans have ever navigated. Backshall and his team are taken by helicopter to point A and arrange to be met at point B: who knows what lies in between?
The answer is a smattering of gorgeous wildlife and some hot, humid, occasionally perilous work kayaking downstream, while experiencing the rare joy of covering genuinely uncharted territory. Then, near the final destination, there’s a wonderful surprise.
