Around the World in 80 Ways
Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Travel, Reality
For two adrenaline junkies attempting to circumnavigate the globe using every conceivable mode of transportation, it's not the destination that counts: it's the journey itself.
Hosts Robert "Boston Rob" Mariano and Dennis Anderson must get themselves around the world in 80 different ways, from rickshaws and hovercrafts to hang gliders and barrels.
Packed with extreme escapades in Brazil, Peru, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Dubai, India, Thailand and the United States, their voyage takes them not just across the planet but also through time as they explore the history behind how people have traveled over the ages.
Now and then, these two seasoned daredevils have to concoct and build their own means of transport, taking "off the beaten path" to a whole new level.
Mariano, a four-time Survivor contestant, and Anderson, a monster truck champion, aren't technically competing with each other, but they can't resist bringing a dose of friendly rivalry to every new adventure.
Sometimes, getting there is half the fun. In this series, it's an epic challenge.
In the series premiere: Our two adventurers are off to a "crushing" start when they meet in the desert.
Dennis introduces Rob to their first "Way" - The Beast: A giant mechanical crawler that has to be seen to be believed.
Once they realise it takes two gallons of gas to get one mile, they abandon the metal monster.
Final destination: Lake Titicaca, Peru. First stop in Peru, the ancient city of Cusco.
Dennis is like a child in a candy store. They find the bus station and the boys are on their way, or so they think...
After making friends with the locals and nearly being part of a bus accident, Rob and Dennis have to make a decision: stay on the dangerous bus ride or take a short cut.
They finally decide to take the short cut... the zip-line.
