Possibly from South Africa, it's unknown if the series was broadcast in the US.

This well written, but sparse on sound effects, adventure serial sometimes shows a dated and decidely ugly view of African natives. This ancient attitude aside, "Moon over Africa" is a thrilling adventure replete with dangerous wild animals, many twists and turns through the jungle, and a thoughtful recap at the beginning of each 10-12 minute episode. [This radio program could very easily be used as a college drinking game, simply by taking a drink every time a character says, "Good Lord!" or "Heavens!" (which is very often...)]

The entire series is available on another page at this site. That cset makes an intriguing radio experience. Recommended.
