Expedition Unlimited: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Expedition Unlimited is a reality show comprising of five models and five young people with physical disabilities.

In the first episode, five teams, each comprising one model and one disabled person, were assembled. Over the next nine episodes, the teams perform a series of challenges – including a specially developed tandem bicycle route – at scenic locations across South Africa.

While each stage involves cycling, each episode also includes new and uniquely South African challenges as teams compete for a head start in the next episode – and ultimately for the €20,000 first prize.

Expedition Unlimited provides viewers with a glimpse of different worlds: South Africa versus the Netherlands, models versus people with disabilities, the African bush, the desert, the sea and mountains.
