These are the ingredients for a truly unusual episode of “Dateline Unforgettable.” In “Safari Story,” Andrea Canning revisits one of her most memorable cases, taking viewers on an international journey into the heart of a perplexing mystery.
This isn’t your usual “Dateline” fare. The exotic setting and the circumstances of the death add a unique twist to the usual true-crime formula. Canning, known for her meticulous reporting, retraces the steps of the investigation, exploring the events leading up to the fatal shooting. The focus is on the dentist and his wife, both present at the scene, as the narrative unravels.

Canning’s on-the-ground reporting in Zambia adds a level of depth not often seen in the series. It’s not just about solving a crime; it’s about understanding the cultural context and the complexities of an investigation that spans continents.
