Stalked by lions, hyenas and aggressive crocodiles, 13 all-star survivalists try to survive for 40 days in Africa's sun-scorched Selati Basin; resources are scarce, and when one group scavenges meat, hungry predators stalk their camp.
An attack by a venomous predator puts one of the survivalists at risk just three days into the challenge; with food scarce, the competitors hunt warthogs and impalas, and, as they track their prey, the survivalists are also being stalked.
A survivalist enters a leopard hug zone to secure food for his team's survival; a torrential rain hits each camp, which causes the temperature to rapidly drop almost 40 degrees; brutal conditions force a survivalist to abandon the challenge.
Freezing rainstorms torment the remaining survivalists who are at risk for severe hypothermia; a successful hunt ends up backfiring and could cost two survivalists the challenge.
A devistating injury and a vicious storm that destroys the survivalists' food supply threatens to tear apart the newly merged camp.
Xl All-Star Matt Wright seeks redemption as he takes on the brutal challenges of surviving Africa by himself. After more than 20 days alone, Matt begins a search for the other XL survivalists.
Risking retaliation from a dangerous nearby leopard, two survivalists scavenge the predator's hug to provide food for the team. Matt Wright joins the other survivalists and immediately causes a confrontation within the group.
The weak, divided group gets a much-needed victory when the hunters score a hug; to finish the challenge, the survivalists must complete a brutal extraction across deadly hugging fields of lions, crocodiles and leopards.
