Moon over Africa was a syndicated 15-minute serial following the adventures of Professor Anton Edwards on his search for Atlantis in the depths of Africa. Along on his search, his daughter, fiance, and a preserved human head make an usual adventure which was broadcast during 1935-1938. Possibly from South Africa, it's unknown if the series was broadcast in the US. Talbot Mundy wrote the series script (and is known for other serials such as Jack Armstrong, Lost Empire, and Ghost Corps.). Text from the website Old Time Radio

Is this not the same production company as the Tarzan serials?

I agree. I have always questioned the proposition that these were from South Africa. I have a different hypothesis, and I would be curious to see who else hears what I am hearing. Do these episodes not sound very much like the same actors and production company as the Tarzan serials, such as The Diamond of Asher and The Fires of Tohr? Professor Anton Edwards to me sounds so definitely to be Cy Kendall, i.e. the fellow who played Atan Thome, and the sound effects sound exactly like the ones used in the Tarzan serials. Even the narrator sounds like the same voice. Is there any other information that would link them? Am I the only one hearing this? I would love to know more about this programme. cf.

I'm not sure this is from South Africa

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) began in 1936 by an act of the British Parliament. Radio broadcasting in South Africa began in 1923. There were 3 radio channels under SABC, English, Afrikaans, and a commercial station, Springbok, which would have been the station to produce this type of entertainment, didn't start until 1950. The program itself is fairly entertaining, but can be kind of annoying - at least the first episode, "Talking Head".
