This is Kruger National Park in South Africa,

0:00:020:00:06

home to some of the biggest, fastest and deadliest animals on the planet.

0:00:060:00:10

CBBC brought four British and four South African children

0:00:130:00:16

to spend a month here training to be rookie game rangers.

0:00:160:00:20

Leading them on this adventure will be their mentors, Ranger Rudi...

0:00:210:00:26

It's taken me years to learn to be a ranger.

0:00:260:00:28

They've only got one month to do it.

0:00:280:00:30

And guide, Frankie.

0:00:300:00:32

Danger can be around any corner. The Safari Act needs to be learned -

0:00:320:00:36

to be ready at any time.

0:00:360:00:37

Eight kids, two mentors and one massive challenge -

0:00:370:00:42

to lead two celebrity guests on a safari experience of a lifetime.

0:00:420:00:46

Last time on Safari 8: the team visited an animal sanctuary

0:01:060:01:11

where they fed a rather large baby...

0:01:110:01:13

..met a cheetah...

0:01:140:01:15

I touched a cheetah! How many people can say that?

0:01:150:01:18

..and served dinner for some very hungry vultures.

0:01:180:01:21

They're fighting over the meat in their mouths.

0:01:210:01:24

Coming up: the Safari 8 go on their most dangerous tracking mission yet.

0:01:240:01:28

If you're talking, we'll just leave.

0:01:280:01:30

I don't even want to hear a whisper.

0:01:300:01:32

The rookies start to feel the pressure.

0:01:320:01:35

-I see that.

-I've mucked up.

0:01:350:01:37

On the vehicle now!

0:01:370:01:39

And what could possibly be this important?

0:01:390:01:42

-Tell me what's going on!

-No!

0:01:420:01:45

It's the third week of the Safari 8's ranger training.

0:01:550:01:59

Just a few days to go until the all-important final challenge,

0:01:590:02:04

to lead celebrity guests on a two-day safari through the bush.

0:02:040:02:08

Mentors Rudi and Frankie have watched our rookie rangers' progress

0:02:080:02:12

from day one.

0:02:120:02:13

But they still have concerns about the group.

0:02:130:02:16

Some of them are ready for the final challenge.

0:02:160:02:19

One or two have lost confidence for some reason.

0:02:190:02:22

We are going to work on them to try and persuade them they can do this.

0:02:220:02:27

Guys, check for snakes like we usually do.

0:02:270:02:30

You look in your pants and I'll look in mine!

0:02:300:02:33

For some of them

0:02:330:02:35

the seriousness is not there yet.

0:02:350:02:37

We're all clear, Rudi.

0:02:370:02:39

They're taking this all as a joke.

0:02:390:02:41

We have to sort that out very quickly.

0:02:410:02:43

Each member of the Safari 8 will play a vital role

0:02:430:02:46

in the final challenge.

0:02:460:02:48

There'll be a head ranger, responsible for the team,

0:02:480:02:51

three guides and two trackers

0:02:510:02:53

who'll lead the mystery celebrity guests on safari

0:02:530:02:56

and two members of hospitality

0:02:560:02:58

who'll look after their dining and domestic needs.

0:02:580:03:01

The mentors will choose who takes on which role

0:03:010:03:04

and even at this late stage, there's everything to play for.

0:03:040:03:07

All the spots are still vacant for the final challenge.

0:03:070:03:11

Me and Rudi have chatted about it. A lot of work still needs to be done.

0:03:110:03:15

They need to shape up.

0:03:150:03:17

So, with decision time looming, Frankie and Rudi

0:03:170:03:20

have decided to test the group's animal knowledge and people skills.

0:03:200:03:25

Eight of you, there's eight cuddly toys in there.

0:03:250:03:27

Decide amongst yourselves what animal you're going to take

0:03:270:03:31

and then prepare a presentation for us.

0:03:310:03:35

Up for grabs are the big five.

0:03:370:03:39

Rhino, elephant, buffalo,

0:03:390:03:41

lion and leopard,

0:03:410:03:43

plus hippo, giraffe and finally the monkey family.

0:03:430:03:46

This is going to give us a very good indication

0:03:480:03:50

of who of you can take the roles of guides.

0:03:500:03:53

Basically, if you do like a rubbish presentation,

0:03:530:03:57

will you be put as hospitality?

0:03:570:03:59

In all the roles there's some sort of presentation that's needed.

0:03:590:04:03

The guests are in the camp. If they ask a question,

0:04:030:04:06

even if you're hospitality, you need to answer them correctly.

0:04:060:04:10

You have a few minutes to sort it out amongst yourselves.

0:04:100:04:13

If you haven't picked by then, we'll pick it for you.

0:04:130:04:16

Rudi and Frankie will be watching to see

0:04:160:04:20

if the group's team work has improved.

0:04:200:04:22

In yesterday's challenge, the mentors criticised Ashleigh

0:04:230:04:26

and Kushal for overriding their groups.

0:04:260:04:29

And no-one listened to Sifiso.

0:04:290:04:32

Will the Safari 8 have learned from that experience?

0:04:350:04:38

Ella should get the elephant because she's so passionate about them.

0:04:380:04:43

They're not giving anyone a chance.

0:04:430:04:45

Ashleigh is straight in with her opinion

0:04:450:04:48

but Ella isn't the only one who loves elephants.

0:04:480:04:50

KUSHAL: Does anybody else want the elephant?

0:04:500:04:55

-If so, say it. I don't mind.

-It's fine. You can take it.

0:04:550:04:58

So Sifiso has let Ella get her first choice of animal.

0:04:580:05:02

I think sometimes Sifiso does let people get their own way.

0:05:020:05:06

He doesn't really get the chance to say, "It's my turn now."

0:05:060:05:10

I want the hippo. It's a challenge. We don't know a lot about them.

0:05:100:05:14

Anybody else for the hippo?

0:05:140:05:16

Kushal controlled the group.

0:05:160:05:18

He said to give everybody a chance which is a leadership skill.

0:05:180:05:22

As usual, joker Tomas throws in a curveball.

0:05:220:05:25

I don't really mind, but I'd probably like the baboon.

0:05:250:05:28

I prefer the monkey cos it's an odd animal and I like a challenge.

0:05:280:05:33

It fits you, Tomas!

0:05:330:05:35

I'm very impressed that Tomas went for the monkeys.

0:05:350:05:38

I think he's going to pull something out of that. I don't know what yet!

0:05:380:05:41

The rest of the animals are divided up fairly.

0:05:410:05:45

Then the team starts studying.

0:05:450:05:47

A herbivore.

0:05:470:05:49

But will they have learned enough by tomorrow?

0:05:490:05:51

In the presentation, communication skills are important

0:05:510:05:55

because you can have a world of information,

0:05:550:05:57

but if you can't be enthusiastic, it's worthless.

0:05:570:06:01

It's important that knowledge comes over correctly. You can't fake it.

0:06:010:06:05

You can't take people out and give them wrongful information

0:06:050:06:09

because that goes out to the rest of the world

0:06:090:06:12

and it's important they know what they're talking about.

0:06:120:06:15

Every training task given to the Safari 8

0:06:210:06:24

is designed to help them with their final challenge.

0:06:240:06:27

While their animal knowledge is vitally important,

0:06:270:06:30

the team also need to cater for their guests' every need for an enjoyable experience.

0:06:300:06:36

-It's going to be 45 degrees today.

-47.

0:06:360:06:39

So for now, the team have abandoned their study books

0:06:410:06:44

and are on their way to somewhere very special.

0:06:440:06:46

This is a private luxury lodge

0:06:460:06:49

where their mentor Frankie normally lives and works.

0:06:490:06:52

Today the Safari 8 are here to learn

0:06:520:06:55

how to give their guests the five-star treatment.

0:06:550:06:58

Welcome to our private game lodge. Face towel, Tomas?

0:06:580:07:01

Now, as a guide or ranger,

0:07:010:07:04

you guys need to entertain your guests

0:07:040:07:06

and look after their every need.

0:07:060:07:08

Can anyone tell me what a bush banquet is?

0:07:080:07:11

-Tomas?

-Is it like a buffet full of creepy-crawlies?

0:07:110:07:16

Tomas, you are almost right there. It's actually five-star cuisine.

0:07:160:07:20

A bush banquet is a luxury meal for safari guests

0:07:200:07:24

that takes place in the bush.

0:07:240:07:27

Preparing and hosting a bush banquet

0:07:270:07:29

will be a large part of the team's final challenge.

0:07:290:07:32

By the end of today, the Safari 8 will know exactly

0:07:320:07:35

how much hard work goes into one.

0:07:350:07:37

Today you're going to set up a bush banquet

0:07:370:07:40

for 14 of this lodge's guests.

0:07:400:07:43

You need to really pay attention to everything we teach you today.

0:07:430:07:47

As part of your final challenge, you need to entertain guests.

0:07:470:07:51

-OK?

-Yes.

-Shall we get out of the sun?

-Yes!

-Yes, please!

0:07:510:07:54

The rookies are split into two groups.

0:07:550:07:58

Nomalungelo is leading one team

0:07:580:08:00

who are getting a master class in planning a banquet from the manager.

0:08:000:08:04

Some tips. We've got 14 people, so we need 14 sets of everything.

0:08:040:08:09

Ashleigh is leading the other group

0:08:090:08:11

who are in charge of cooking under the supervision of chef Leanne.

0:08:110:08:15

It's a three-course meal. Everything needs to be 100% on the money.

0:08:150:08:19

-Is everyone ready to go?

-Yes, Chef.

0:08:190:08:21

Little bits up like that.

0:08:210:08:24

The mystery VIP guests will expect nothing less than a fabulous feast.

0:08:240:08:28

On tonight's menu:

0:08:280:08:30

-Are you enjoying this, Tom?

-I'm excited. I love cooking.

0:08:390:08:43

-You don't want to become head ranger?

-No.

0:08:430:08:45

Hospitality has a lot of control. They choose the accommodation,

0:08:450:08:50

the food, the entertainment.

0:08:500:08:52

Tomas is fabulous. He's fantastic. There's so much energy there.

0:08:520:08:57

You gotta rub it in, right?

0:08:570:08:59

Tomas has impressed me a lot. He's always been the joker.

0:08:590:09:03

But in the kitchen I think he feels much more at home.

0:09:030:09:07

So Tomas is really in his element.

0:09:080:09:11

And away from the kitchen, someone else is standing out too.

0:09:110:09:14

Can you take this? You take it for tea and I'll take it off here.

0:09:140:09:19

I was really impressed with Nomal taking on the leadership role.

0:09:190:09:24

-Over there, the plates go in, yeah.

-She's doing really well.

0:09:240:09:28

It's vital the team have enough equipment for every eventuality.

0:09:290:09:33

If something breaks in the bush, there's no replacement.

0:09:330:09:37

I hope you've got everything. I haven't checked it. You have a list.

0:09:370:09:41

It's really important to make sure that everything is sent.

0:09:410:09:45

You can't run out of anything. If you do, you have an unhappy guest.

0:09:450:09:49

That's what we really don't want.

0:09:490:09:51

-You've got everything right here.

-All we need?

-Yes.

0:09:510:09:54

Nomal's really rising to the challenge.

0:09:540:09:57

But in the kitchen, things are a little less organised.

0:09:570:10:00

Ashleigh could, I think, be a stronger leader.

0:10:000:10:04

She doesn't take control. She hasn't taken control in the kitchen yet.

0:10:040:10:08

Guide me, guider!

0:10:080:10:10

What's the next thing on the list?

0:10:100:10:12

Milk. "Add the milk."

0:10:120:10:14

OK. So?

0:10:140:10:15

Enthusiasm is not there.

0:10:150:10:17

She's just botting around and doesn't take control of the team

0:10:170:10:22

which is not a good sign of a leader.

0:10:220:10:24

And when Tomas messes up the chicken marinades...

0:10:240:10:28

It's too sweet! Chuck it in the bin and start again!

0:10:280:10:32

..Ashleigh stays super-relaxed.

0:10:320:10:34

It's meant to be cornflour. Tomas put baking powder,

0:10:340:10:38

but we'll just keep quiet and see how it goes.

0:10:380:10:42

'She wasn't being a proper leader by getting it done'

0:10:420:10:45

quickly and properly.

0:10:450:10:46

'She was mucking around and having a laugh.'

0:10:460:10:49

It's OK to muck around and have fun while you're cooking,

0:10:500:10:54

but you have to do the food.

0:10:540:10:55

How their food will taste

0:10:550:10:57

is anyone's guess.

0:10:570:10:59

Quickly, quickly, quickly! On the vehicle. Now!

0:10:590:11:03

Coming up, there's an urgent situation to attend to.

0:11:030:11:06

-Someone tell me what's going on.

-No.

0:11:060:11:08

And guess who's coming to dinner?

0:11:080:11:11

Really difficult people are coming.

0:11:110:11:13

With most of the bush banquet preparations completed,

0:11:220:11:25

the Safari 8 are tackling their trickiest tracking operation yet.

0:11:250:11:30

As part of their ranger training,

0:11:330:11:35

the rookies have encountered four out of the big five safari animals.

0:11:350:11:39

Elephant, buffalo,

0:11:390:11:41

lion and rhino.

0:11:410:11:43

But if they want to complete the set,

0:11:430:11:45

they need to find the hardest of the lot.

0:11:450:11:48

-Can anybody guess what animal it is? Tomas?

-Leopard.

0:11:480:11:52

-It is a leopard.

-Yes!

0:11:520:11:54

-It is not going to be easy.

-You must have all your senses on alert.

0:11:540:11:59

-Shall we try and find one for you?

-Yeah!

-Jump on it!

0:11:590:12:03

We need our five today. We've seen the four

0:12:030:12:06

from the big five and today will be the best day ever

0:12:060:12:10

if we see the leopard because it would complete everything.

0:12:100:12:14

It may be one of the smallest of the big cats,

0:12:150:12:18

but a leopard can carry prey twice its body weight up a tree.

0:12:180:12:22

And contrary to popular myth, this agile predator doesn't have spots.

0:12:220:12:26

Its coat is covered in rosettes, spots with a ring round them.

0:12:260:12:32

The area we're operating in this morning is very good for leopard.

0:12:320:12:37

It's right between the Sabie and the Sand Rivers. It's a beautiful area.

0:12:370:12:41

It is the best place and the most likely place to find leopard.

0:12:410:12:45

Kruger is the size of Wales.

0:12:450:12:47

There are only about 1,000 leopards living here.

0:12:470:12:50

Trying to find one is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

0:12:500:12:53

The chances of seeing leopards today, there's a 10% chance.

0:12:530:12:57

We'll give it our best shot and see if we can pull one out of the hat!

0:12:570:13:00

The team is starting out by the river

0:13:000:13:03

as leopards often hunt around water.

0:13:030:13:06

But, as the Safari 8 are now seeing,

0:13:060:13:09

there are also lots of other dangerous animals here too

0:13:090:13:13

which makes looking for a leopard on foot highly risky.

0:13:130:13:17

As part of their final challenge,

0:13:170:13:19

the team need to track a leopard.

0:13:190:13:21

So it's vital they listen carefully to Rudi's safety briefing.

0:13:210:13:25

It is really, really dangerous along the river. Very thick bush.

0:13:250:13:29

And we saw some buffalo coming in and out of the reeds.

0:13:290:13:35

Keep your eyes open. Don't look on the ground.

0:13:350:13:38

We'll walk in front. You guys in single file behind us.

0:13:380:13:42

OK?

0:13:420:13:43

No talking!

0:13:430:13:44

If I hear talking, we're going to leave. We'll just come out.

0:13:440:13:49

-I don't even want to hear a whisper!

-When we come across a leopard,

0:13:490:13:52

they don't usually charge like normal animals.

0:13:520:13:55

Not straight on. They tend to come more in a zigzag motion.

0:13:550:13:58

If something happens, it's very, very important, like we said before,

0:13:580:14:03

that you stand still. Don't run.

0:14:030:14:05

If you run, you better be faster than that leopard! OK?

0:14:050:14:09

-And that's impossible.

-You guys ready?

0:14:090:14:11

Let's go.

0:14:110:14:13

Frankie and Rudi lead the group.

0:14:160:14:18

There's another ranger at the back for safety.

0:14:180:14:21

The leopard is a solitary animal that lives and hunts on its own.

0:14:210:14:26

This big cat kills its prey by biting the back of the neck.

0:14:280:14:32

And it has incredibly strong teeth and a powerful jaw

0:14:340:14:38

that means it can crunch through thick bones.

0:14:380:14:40

We've come quite a bit now.

0:14:440:14:47

We're looking for tracks, but haven't found anything yet.

0:14:470:14:50

Look out on the sides. If you see a leopard track, stop us.

0:14:500:14:55

As I said, they're very elusive animals.

0:14:550:14:58

Really elusive animals!

0:14:580:15:00

You get a quick glimpse and it'll run away.

0:15:020:15:05

That's why it's my favourite animal cos it's so unique.

0:15:050:15:08

When we do see one, if we see one,

0:15:080:15:11

it's going to be really exciting.

0:15:110:15:13

A leopard's tracks, or spur, have no claw marks in them

0:15:130:15:18

because it has retractable claws.

0:15:180:15:20

But so do lions

0:15:200:15:22

so it's easy to mix up the tracks of these two big cats.

0:15:220:15:25

But unfortunately after 20 minutes of walking,

0:15:250:15:28

the Safari 8 have had no chance to identify any spur at all

0:15:280:15:32

because they've found precisely nothing.

0:15:320:15:35

OK, guys, we're going to walk up to that massive sycamore fig.

0:15:350:15:39

We'll see if there's any remains there

0:15:390:15:42

and if a leopard has visited that tree recently.

0:15:420:15:45

All right?

0:15:450:15:48

As leopards hunt at night,

0:15:480:15:49

during the day they tend to sleep hidden in thick bush or trees.

0:15:490:15:54

With its wide branches, this sycamore fig tree

0:15:540:15:57

is one of their favourites. But sadly for the group,

0:15:570:16:00

there are no leopards lurking here today.

0:16:000:16:02

This is almost a perfect tree

0:16:020:16:04

for a leopard to either sleep in or take his prey up.

0:16:040:16:08

Often we'll see claw marks on the bark of the tree

0:16:080:16:12

where it's climbed up.

0:16:120:16:14

If it uses this tree, it'll really go high up

0:16:150:16:18

with his prey animal

0:16:180:16:20

because lions are also climbers

0:16:200:16:23

so lions can also get to his prey.

0:16:230:16:25

If a leopard was up a tree eating its prey,

0:16:250:16:28

and there's lions at the bottom,

0:16:280:16:30

will they wait for the leopard to come down and eat the leopard?

0:16:300:16:34

Lions lose interest quite quickly.

0:16:340:16:36

They'd lie there for a few hours, see the leopard won't come down,

0:16:360:16:40

or the leopard would see the lions asleep and he'd take a chance.

0:16:400:16:44

He's much faster than the lions, so he runs away from them.

0:16:440:16:48

So the leopard has been a no-show.

0:16:480:16:51

Although it's been an interesting morning,

0:16:510:16:53

as the group head back, there's an air of dissatisfaction.

0:16:530:16:57

I'm very disappointed I didn't see a leopard.

0:16:570:16:59

They're such beautiful and independent animals.

0:16:590:17:03

I was a bit disappointed.

0:17:030:17:06

We've seen four of the big five

0:17:060:17:08

so I'd like to see five.

0:17:080:17:10

Even touch five of the big five.

0:17:100:17:12

It's been a great experience, even though we didn't see one,

0:17:120:17:16

which was disappointing.

0:17:160:17:17

But we hope that as we carry on our trip as the Safari 8 team,

0:17:170:17:21

even though we've got little time left, we hope to see one soon.

0:17:210:17:25

The team may be disappointed at the lack of leopards,

0:17:320:17:35

but right now there's a bush banquet to attend to.

0:17:350:17:38

Everybody out.

0:17:380:17:41

When the mystery VIP guests arrive in a few hours' time,

0:17:410:17:44

this blank patch of bush needs to look like a five-star restaurant.

0:17:440:17:48

So it's all hands on deck with the laying,

0:17:480:17:51

placing...

0:17:510:17:52

Good!

0:17:520:17:53

..folding

0:17:530:17:54

and lighting.

0:17:540:17:56

There we go.

0:17:560:17:57

Everything is coming together nicely.

0:17:570:18:00

Then Frankie gets a call from another ranger in the park.

0:18:000:18:04

-We really need to go.

-OK.

0:18:040:18:05

-Kids!

-All Safari 8 come up!

-Quickly, quickly, quickly!

0:18:050:18:11

OK. On the vehicle - now!

0:18:110:18:13

-Will someone tell me what's going on?

-No!

0:18:240:18:27

The team don't know what's happening.

0:18:280:18:30

But there's only one thing they're hoping for.

0:18:300:18:33

-What if it's a leopard?

-Is it a leopard?

0:18:330:18:36

-A leopard!

-Shh!

0:18:360:18:39

After a few more minutes' driving, the team arrives at the destination.

0:18:400:18:44

FRANKIE: All right, guys,

0:18:450:18:47

how does an impala get into a tree?

0:18:470:18:49

Sifiso?

0:18:490:18:51

-I think there was a leopard.

-That's correct.

0:18:510:18:53

We got a call that there's a female leopard with two cubs

0:18:530:18:57

that killed this impala. We're just searching for her now.

0:18:570:19:00

This is another chance for the team to see a leopard

0:19:000:19:04

and complete their big five bush experience.

0:19:040:19:07

It's amazing to see that impala up the tree, and like dead and stuff.

0:19:070:19:12

Obviously there has been a leopard here not that long ago.

0:19:120:19:16

We'll have to hope it does come back with its cubs

0:19:160:19:19

so we get to see it really clearly.

0:19:190:19:21

But unfortunately, the tree remained empty.

0:19:290:19:33

Basically, we tried,

0:19:330:19:35

as we did on our walk. It's a very elusive animal.

0:19:350:19:38

Because she's got cubs, she's going to be that much more elusive.

0:19:380:19:41

So unfortunately, she went away from us into the river.

0:19:410:19:47

We didn't see her. But maybe next time.

0:19:470:19:50

Once again, the team are disappointed.

0:19:500:19:53

I really wanted to see the leopard.

0:19:530:19:56

But at least the trip wasn't completely wasted.

0:19:560:19:59

We just stopped and we saw wild rhinos.

0:19:590:20:02

Two of them.

0:20:020:20:03

Maybe Sifiso can pick up some tips for his talk tomorrow.

0:20:030:20:08

-GIRL:

-It looks so pretty!

0:20:110:20:13

Back at the bush banquet, the team's hard work has really paid off.

0:20:140:20:19

It looks so fancy!

0:20:190:20:21

The table they've laid looks fantastic

0:20:210:20:23

and the food they've prepared smells great.

0:20:230:20:26

All that's left is to reveal the identity of their mystery guests.

0:20:260:20:30

Your guests are about to arrive.

0:20:300:20:32

Are you sure everything is set up to a five-star standard?

0:20:320:20:36

-Yeah.

-OK. It's really, really difficult people that's coming.

0:20:360:20:40

So, you guys can take a seat.

0:20:470:20:50

Oh!

0:20:500:20:51

The VIPs are the Safari 8.

0:20:510:20:53

We've got springbok sausage.

0:20:530:20:55

Here we go.

0:20:550:20:57

Thank you, Leanne.

0:20:570:20:59

I'm really happy that we made it ourselves.

0:21:010:21:05

We all really thought we were going to get real guests

0:21:050:21:08

so it was a nice surprise that the food was for us.

0:21:080:21:11

We're so excited.

0:21:110:21:13

And how does that chicken marinade actually taste?

0:21:130:21:16

It's not nice - it's lovely!

0:21:160:21:19

Everything is perfect. A little tweaking here or there.

0:21:220:21:26

Perfect for the final challenge.

0:21:260:21:29

So, with bellies full of food,

0:21:290:21:31

it's nearly time for the Safari 8 to hit the hay.

0:21:310:21:34

-How's the banana, Kushal?

-It was lovely.

0:21:340:21:37

But the importance of tomorrow's presentations

0:21:380:21:41

is very much on their minds.

0:21:410:21:44

I'm nervous about tomorrow's presentations

0:21:450:21:48

because I've got everything prepared and know the facts,

0:21:480:21:51

but it's just that inside feeling and stuff.

0:21:510:21:53

I think I'm going to put in an all-nighter, like.

0:21:530:21:57

The other seven have actually got common animals

0:21:570:21:59

like the hippo, the lion, the giraffe.

0:21:590:22:02

And it's really easy for them.

0:22:020:22:05

I'm looking forward to the presentation but I'm a bit nervous.

0:22:050:22:09

I can't wait what's going to happen tomorrow.

0:22:090:22:12

It's the next morning, and as the group waits for the presentations,

0:22:190:22:23

they think about just how important this task could be

0:22:230:22:26

in determining their roles in the final challenge.

0:22:260:22:29

Cute, hey?

0:22:290:22:30

I am feeling a bit of pressure because we don't know our roles.

0:22:300:22:36

Everyone is thinking about it. Everyone is hyper and stressed.

0:22:360:22:40

I wouldn't mind any job, but I wanted to be head ranger.

0:22:400:22:43

If I'm not head ranger, be a guide.

0:22:430:22:46

-Ella?

-Yes?

0:22:460:22:47

I'm going to buy you a big one to keep as a pet!

0:22:470:22:50

Thank you, Sifiso!

0:22:510:22:53

That would be the best present ever!

0:22:530:22:56

The role I would like would be head ranger.

0:22:560:22:58

If I couldn't get head ranger, tracker or a guide.

0:22:580:23:01

I want to be head ranger in the final challenge.

0:23:010:23:04

I love leading and being in charge

0:23:040:23:06

so I'd like the role of head ranger.

0:23:060:23:08

In the final challenge, the guides will be responsible

0:23:080:23:12

for entertaining the guests with fascinating facts

0:23:120:23:15

about every animal they see.

0:23:150:23:17

These presentations are the first opportunity for Frankie and Rudi

0:23:180:23:21

to see which team members might be best suited to the role.

0:23:210:23:25

You guys need to impress me and Rudi

0:23:260:23:29

before we can allow you to impress your guests.

0:23:290:23:32

You've got two minutes to deliver your presentation.

0:23:320:23:35

Afterwards, myself and Rudi will give you feedback.

0:23:350:23:39

12-year-old Ella is the first to stand on the hot-spot.

0:23:390:23:42

'I'm a bit nervous about my presentation.'

0:23:420:23:45

I'm sure it'll be really good.

0:23:450:23:47

I'm very confident that I'll do quite well

0:23:470:23:50

but I'm still very nervous.

0:23:500:23:52

I'm going to tell you a bit more about the elephant.

0:23:520:23:56

The elephant's...tusk...is...

0:23:560:23:59

The elephant's tusk weighs approximately 13 kilograms.

0:23:590:24:02

It's full of... It's made...thickly from ivor... Ivory. Ivory.

0:24:020:24:07

In spite of her earlier confidence,

0:24:070:24:09

Ella's nerves are getting the better of her.

0:24:090:24:12

Their feet um, measure approximately 50 centimetres

0:24:120:24:16

and you times the circumference to get their shoulder height.

0:24:160:24:20

Um...

0:24:200:24:21

Yeah, that's about it.

0:24:210:24:24

I heard a lot of "ums".

0:24:240:24:25

-OK?

-Nervous!

-I can see that!

0:24:250:24:29

I want to see a bit more confidence in your knowledge.

0:24:290:24:33

You can hear by the way you talk that that's the words in the book.

0:24:330:24:37

You learned it word for word. Speak from your heart. Be natural.

0:24:370:24:41

APPLAUSE

0:24:410:24:42

It was all in there and I knew that. It's just really hard

0:24:420:24:46

cos I was under pressure and time limits. I really need

0:24:460:24:49

to pull my socks up!

0:24:490:24:50

Next up, Sifiso,

0:24:500:24:53

who wanted the elephant but ended up with the rhino.

0:24:530:24:56

I've got butterflies in my tummy.

0:24:560:24:58

But I'm going to be OK.

0:24:580:24:59

Greetings to you all in the bush.

0:24:590:25:02

I've got an animal which is a rhinoceros.

0:25:020:25:06

English is Sifiso's third language

0:25:060:25:08

which makes his presentation even more impressive.

0:25:080:25:12

There are two types of rhino, a black and a white rhino.

0:25:120:25:15

A white rhino is a word taken from an Afrikaans word, "weit",

0:25:150:25:20

which means wild.

0:25:200:25:22

To make it easier, they say white and black rhino,

0:25:220:25:25

and it's not even white, the white rhino!

0:25:250:25:27

Thank you, Sifiso.

0:25:270:25:29

I take my hat off to you. Your presentation was very well done.

0:25:300:25:34

You told a story and not just facts.

0:25:340:25:36

That's what you need in a presentation.

0:25:360:25:38

Having picked up some useful tips from the first few candidates,

0:25:380:25:42

the rest sail through and bring some of their own ideas to the table.

0:25:420:25:46

Good afternoon. I will be your tour guide today.

0:25:460:25:50

Remember, it's very hot outside, so remember to drink water

0:25:500:25:54

and stay in single file when in the bush.

0:25:540:25:57

The leopard is a very unpredictable animal

0:25:570:25:59

because they're normally reared in softwood trees

0:25:590:26:02

like the marula and the green fig tree.

0:26:020:26:05

This is a giraffe, also known, as I've named her, Jelly.

0:26:050:26:09

Its scientific name is Giraffa camelopardalis.

0:26:090:26:13

People wonder why they go in the water so well and are so buoyant.

0:26:130:26:17

It's because of their bulky shape. I'll demonstrate.

0:26:170:26:21

You can see why the hippo would float.

0:26:210:26:24

This is the buffalo.

0:26:240:26:26

They can produce 100 to 200 litres of saliva per day.

0:26:260:26:29

That's a lot!

0:26:290:26:31

Tomas, see what you can do.

0:26:310:26:33

When it comes to Tomas,

0:26:330:26:34

will the challenge of the vervet monkey and baboon prove too much?

0:26:340:26:38

The vervet monkeys are small and different to baboons.

0:26:380:26:42

They've got a really long tail.

0:26:420:26:44

The baboon has...

0:26:440:26:45

No, has...

0:26:450:26:47

I don't know. I've mucked up.

0:26:470:26:50

Just go on.

0:26:500:26:51

-What else do you know?

-I went off the baboon too early.

0:26:510:26:55

That's fine. Go back for the baboon.

0:26:550:26:57

With the mentors' encouragement, Tomas finishes his speech.

0:26:570:27:01

Baboons are 99%, with their genes, close to humans.

0:27:010:27:05

The one per cent is they haven't got a voice box so they can't talk.

0:27:050:27:10

Right, Tomas, well done. You came over very well.

0:27:100:27:13

I think people will listen to you,

0:27:130:27:16

but don't ever say, "I mucked it up."

0:27:160:27:19

Because people will then find it difficult to believe you again.

0:27:190:27:23

I think they were expecting me to be funny, so they were a bit let down.

0:27:230:27:27

You guys all did really well.

0:27:270:27:29

Remember when you're out there, you need to keep the guests entertained.

0:27:290:27:33

So that's it. The Safari 8 have done everything they can

0:27:330:27:36

to impress their mentors.

0:27:360:27:38

But who will have won which role in the final challenge?

0:27:380:27:41

The team will find out tomorrow.

0:27:410:27:43

Next time on Safari 8:

0:27:440:27:46

the team's training comes to a dramatic close.

0:27:460:27:49

I never thought I'd see anything like this in my life.

0:27:490:27:52

Things get close to breaking point.

0:27:540:27:56

You guys disappoint me. There's no leadership.

0:27:560:28:00

And the final challenge roles are revealed.

0:28:000:28:03

The head ranger will be...
