The final stretch of the expedition arrives, and the team sets aside all past differences and comes together as one to reach Ujiji and make history. However, the last dozen miles will be their most formidable yet.
After the many arguments among the explorers during the expedition, differences are put aside, and new bonds form, but trouble confronts them all when the heavy rains come near the end of their journey.

The expedition begins with a rocky start when squabbles erupt over who's the leader of the team and the enormity of the journey ahead takes it's toll on the team.
