This is Kruger National Park in South Africa, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
home to some of the biggest, fastest and deadliest animals on the planet. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
CBBC brought four British and four South African children | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
to spend a month here training to be rookie game rangers. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
Leading them on this adventure will be their mentors, Ranger Rudi... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:26 | |
It's taken me years to learn to be a ranger. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
They've only got one month to do it. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
And guide, Frankie. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Danger can be around any corner. The Safari Act needs to be learned - | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
to be ready at any time. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
Eight kids, two mentors and one massive challenge - | 0:00:37 | 0:00:42 | |
to lead two celebrity guests on a safari experience of a lifetime. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
Last time on Safari 8: the team visited an animal sanctuary | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
where they fed a rather large baby... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
..met a cheetah... | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
I touched a cheetah! How many people can say that? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
..and served dinner for some very hungry vultures. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
They're fighting over the meat in their mouths. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Coming up: the Safari 8 go on their most dangerous tracking mission yet. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
If you're talking, we'll just leave. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
I don't even want to hear a whisper. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
The rookies start to feel the pressure. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
-I see that. -I've mucked up. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
On the vehicle now! | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
And what could possibly be this important? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
-Tell me what's going on! -No! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
It's the third week of the Safari 8's ranger training. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
Just a few days to go until the all-important final challenge, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
to lead celebrity guests on a two-day safari through the bush. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
Mentors Rudi and Frankie have watched our rookie rangers' progress | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
from day one. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
But they still have concerns about the group. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
Some of them are ready for the final challenge. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
One or two have lost confidence for some reason. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
We are going to work on them to try and persuade them they can do this. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
Guys, check for snakes like we usually do. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
You look in your pants and I'll look in mine! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
For some of them | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
the seriousness is not there yet. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
We're all clear, Rudi. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
They're taking this all as a joke. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
We have to sort that out very quickly. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Each member of the Safari 8 will play a vital role | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
in the final challenge. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
There'll be a head ranger, responsible for the team, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
three guides and two trackers | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
who'll lead the mystery celebrity guests on safari | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
and two members of hospitality | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
who'll look after their dining and domestic needs. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
The mentors will choose who takes on which role | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
and even at this late stage, there's everything to play for. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
All the spots are still vacant for the final challenge. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
Me and Rudi have chatted about it. A lot of work still needs to be done. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
They need to shape up. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
So, with decision time looming, Frankie and Rudi | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
have decided to test the group's animal knowledge and people skills. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
Eight of you, there's eight cuddly toys in there. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Decide amongst yourselves what animal you're going to take | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
and then prepare a presentation for us. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
Up for grabs are the big five. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Rhino, elephant, buffalo, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
lion and leopard, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
plus hippo, giraffe and finally the monkey family. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
This is going to give us a very good indication | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
of who of you can take the roles of guides. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Basically, if you do like a rubbish presentation, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
will you be put as hospitality? | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
In all the roles there's some sort of presentation that's needed. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
The guests are in the camp. If they ask a question, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
even if you're hospitality, you need to answer them correctly. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
You have a few minutes to sort it out amongst yourselves. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
If you haven't picked by then, we'll pick it for you. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
Rudi and Frankie will be watching to see | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
if the group's team work has improved. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
In yesterday's challenge, the mentors criticised Ashleigh | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
and Kushal for overriding their groups. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
And no-one listened to Sifiso. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Will the Safari 8 have learned from that experience? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
Ella should get the elephant because she's so passionate about them. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
They're not giving anyone a chance. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Ashleigh is straight in with her opinion | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
but Ella isn't the only one who loves elephants. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
KUSHAL: Does anybody else want the elephant? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
-If so, say it. I don't mind. -It's fine. You can take it. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
So Sifiso has let Ella get her first choice of animal. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
I think sometimes Sifiso does let people get their own way. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
He doesn't really get the chance to say, "It's my turn now." | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
I want the hippo. It's a challenge. We don't know a lot about them. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
Anybody else for the hippo? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Kushal controlled the group. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
He said to give everybody a chance which is a leadership skill. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
As usual, joker Tomas throws in a curveball. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
I don't really mind, but I'd probably like the baboon. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
I prefer the monkey cos it's an odd animal and I like a challenge. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
It fits you, Tomas! | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
I'm very impressed that Tomas went for the monkeys. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
I think he's going to pull something out of that. I don't know what yet! | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
The rest of the animals are divided up fairly. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
Then the team starts studying. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
A herbivore. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
But will they have learned enough by tomorrow? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
In the presentation, communication skills are important | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
because you can have a world of information, | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
but if you can't be enthusiastic, it's worthless. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
It's important that knowledge comes over correctly. You can't fake it. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
You can't take people out and give them wrongful information | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
because that goes out to the rest of the world | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
and it's important they know what they're talking about. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
Every training task given to the Safari 8 | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
is designed to help them with their final challenge. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
While their animal knowledge is vitally important, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
the team also need to cater for their guests' every need for an enjoyable experience. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:36 | |
-It's going to be 45 degrees today. -47. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
So for now, the team have abandoned their study books | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
and are on their way to somewhere very special. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
This is a private luxury lodge | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
where their mentor Frankie normally lives and works. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
Today the Safari 8 are here to learn | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
how to give their guests the five-star treatment. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Welcome to our private game lodge. Face towel, Tomas? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
Now, as a guide or ranger, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
you guys need to entertain your guests | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
and look after their every need. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
Can anyone tell me what a bush banquet is? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-Tomas? -Is it like a buffet full of creepy-crawlies? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
Tomas, you are almost right there. It's actually five-star cuisine. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
A bush banquet is a luxury meal for safari guests | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
that takes place in the bush. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
Preparing and hosting a bush banquet | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
will be a large part of the team's final challenge. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
By the end of today, the Safari 8 will know exactly | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
how much hard work goes into one. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
Today you're going to set up a bush banquet | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
for 14 of this lodge's guests. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
You need to really pay attention to everything we teach you today. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
As part of your final challenge, you need to entertain guests. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
-OK? -Yes. -Shall we get out of the sun? -Yes! -Yes, please! | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
The rookies are split into two groups. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Nomalungelo is leading one team | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
who are getting a master class in planning a banquet from the manager. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
Some tips. We've got 14 people, so we need 14 sets of everything. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
Ashleigh is leading the other group | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
who are in charge of cooking under the supervision of chef Leanne. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
It's a three-course meal. Everything needs to be 100% on the money. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-Is everyone ready to go? -Yes, Chef. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Little bits up like that. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
The mystery VIP guests will expect nothing less than a fabulous feast. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
On tonight's menu: | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
-Are you enjoying this, Tom? -I'm excited. I love cooking. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
-You don't want to become head ranger? -No. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Hospitality has a lot of control. They choose the accommodation, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
the food, the entertainment. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
Tomas is fabulous. He's fantastic. There's so much energy there. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
You gotta rub it in, right? | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
Tomas has impressed me a lot. He's always been the joker. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
But in the kitchen I think he feels much more at home. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
So Tomas is really in his element. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
And away from the kitchen, someone else is standing out too. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
Can you take this? You take it for tea and I'll take it off here. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
I was really impressed with Nomal taking on the leadership role. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
-Over there, the plates go in, yeah. -She's doing really well. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
It's vital the team have enough equipment for every eventuality. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
If something breaks in the bush, there's no replacement. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
I hope you've got everything. I haven't checked it. You have a list. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
It's really important to make sure that everything is sent. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
You can't run out of anything. If you do, you have an unhappy guest. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
That's what we really don't want. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
-You've got everything right here. -All we need? -Yes. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Nomal's really rising to the challenge. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
But in the kitchen, things are a little less organised. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Ashleigh could, I think, be a stronger leader. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
She doesn't take control. She hasn't taken control in the kitchen yet. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
Guide me, guider! | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
What's the next thing on the list? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
Milk. "Add the milk." | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
OK. So? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:15 | |
Enthusiasm is not there. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
She's just botting around and doesn't take control of the team | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
which is not a good sign of a leader. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
And when Tomas messes up the chicken marinades... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
It's too sweet! Chuck it in the bin and start again! | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
..Ashleigh stays super-relaxed. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
It's meant to be cornflour. Tomas put baking powder, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
but we'll just keep quiet and see how it goes. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
'She wasn't being a proper leader by getting it done' | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
quickly and properly. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |
'She was mucking around and having a laugh.' | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
It's OK to muck around and have fun while you're cooking, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
but you have to do the food. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
How their food will taste | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
is anyone's guess. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
Quickly, quickly, quickly! On the vehicle. Now! | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Coming up, there's an urgent situation to attend to. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
-Someone tell me what's going on. -No. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
And guess who's coming to dinner? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Really difficult people are coming. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
With most of the bush banquet preparations completed, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
the Safari 8 are tackling their trickiest tracking operation yet. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:30 | |
As part of their ranger training, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
the rookies have encountered four out of the big five safari animals. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
Elephant, buffalo, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
lion and rhino. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
But if they want to complete the set, | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
they need to find the hardest of the lot. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-Can anybody guess what animal it is? Tomas? -Leopard. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-It is a leopard. -Yes! | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-It is not going to be easy. -You must have all your senses on alert. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:59 | |
-Shall we try and find one for you? -Yeah! -Jump on it! | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
We need our five today. We've seen the four | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
from the big five and today will be the best day ever | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
if we see the leopard because it would complete everything. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
It may be one of the smallest of the big cats, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
but a leopard can carry prey twice its body weight up a tree. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
And contrary to popular myth, this agile predator doesn't have spots. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
Its coat is covered in rosettes, spots with a ring round them. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:32 | |
The area we're operating in this morning is very good for leopard. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
It's right between the Sabie and the Sand Rivers. It's a beautiful area. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
It is the best place and the most likely place to find leopard. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
Kruger is the size of Wales. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
There are only about 1,000 leopards living here. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
Trying to find one is like looking for a needle in a haystack! | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
The chances of seeing leopards today, there's a 10% chance. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
We'll give it our best shot and see if we can pull one out of the hat! | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
The team is starting out by the river | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
as leopards often hunt around water. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
But, as the Safari 8 are now seeing, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
there are also lots of other dangerous animals here too | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
which makes looking for a leopard on foot highly risky. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
As part of their final challenge, | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
the team need to track a leopard. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
So it's vital they listen carefully to Rudi's safety briefing. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
It is really, really dangerous along the river. Very thick bush. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
And we saw some buffalo coming in and out of the reeds. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:35 | |
Keep your eyes open. Don't look on the ground. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
We'll walk in front. You guys in single file behind us. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
OK? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
No talking! | 0:13:43 | 0:13:44 | |
If I hear talking, we're going to leave. We'll just come out. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:49 | |
-I don't even want to hear a whisper! -When we come across a leopard, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
they don't usually charge like normal animals. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
Not straight on. They tend to come more in a zigzag motion. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
If something happens, it's very, very important, like we said before, | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
that you stand still. Don't run. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
If you run, you better be faster than that leopard! OK? | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
-And that's impossible. -You guys ready? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
Let's go. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
Frankie and Rudi lead the group. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
There's another ranger at the back for safety. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
The leopard is a solitary animal that lives and hunts on its own. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
This big cat kills its prey by biting the back of the neck. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
And it has incredibly strong teeth and a powerful jaw | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
that means it can crunch through thick bones. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
We've come quite a bit now. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
We're looking for tracks, but haven't found anything yet. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Look out on the sides. If you see a leopard track, stop us. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
As I said, they're very elusive animals. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Really elusive animals! | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
You get a quick glimpse and it'll run away. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
That's why it's my favourite animal cos it's so unique. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
When we do see one, if we see one, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
it's going to be really exciting. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
A leopard's tracks, or spur, have no claw marks in them | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
because it has retractable claws. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
But so do lions | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
so it's easy to mix up the tracks of these two big cats. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
But unfortunately after 20 minutes of walking, | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
the Safari 8 have had no chance to identify any spur at all | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
because they've found precisely nothing. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
OK, guys, we're going to walk up to that massive sycamore fig. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
We'll see if there's any remains there | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
and if a leopard has visited that tree recently. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
All right? | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
As leopards hunt at night, | 0:15:48 | 0:15:49 | |
during the day they tend to sleep hidden in thick bush or trees. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
With its wide branches, this sycamore fig tree | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
is one of their favourites. But sadly for the group, | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
there are no leopards lurking here today. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
This is almost a perfect tree | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
for a leopard to either sleep in or take his prey up. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
Often we'll see claw marks on the bark of the tree | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
where it's climbed up. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
If it uses this tree, it'll really go high up | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
with his prey animal | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
because lions are also climbers | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
so lions can also get to his prey. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
If a leopard was up a tree eating its prey, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
and there's lions at the bottom, | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
will they wait for the leopard to come down and eat the leopard? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
Lions lose interest quite quickly. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
They'd lie there for a few hours, see the leopard won't come down, | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
or the leopard would see the lions asleep and he'd take a chance. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
He's much faster than the lions, so he runs away from them. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
So the leopard has been a no-show. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
Although it's been an interesting morning, | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
as the group head back, there's an air of dissatisfaction. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
I'm very disappointed I didn't see a leopard. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
They're such beautiful and independent animals. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
I was a bit disappointed. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
We've seen four of the big five | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
so I'd like to see five. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
Even touch five of the big five. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
It's been a great experience, even though we didn't see one, | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
which was disappointing. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:17 | |
But we hope that as we carry on our trip as the Safari 8 team, | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
even though we've got little time left, we hope to see one soon. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
The team may be disappointed at the lack of leopards, | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
but right now there's a bush banquet to attend to. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Everybody out. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
When the mystery VIP guests arrive in a few hours' time, | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
this blank patch of bush needs to look like a five-star restaurant. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
So it's all hands on deck with the laying, | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
placing... | 0:17:51 | 0:17:52 | |
Good! | 0:17:52 | 0:17:53 | |
..folding | 0:17:53 | 0:17:54 | |
and lighting. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
There we go. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:57 | |
Everything is coming together nicely. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
Then Frankie gets a call from another ranger in the park. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-We really need to go. -OK. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
-Kids! -All Safari 8 come up! -Quickly, quickly, quickly! | 0:18:05 | 0:18:11 | |
OK. On the vehicle - now! | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
-Will someone tell me what's going on? -No! | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
The team don't know what's happening. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
But there's only one thing they're hoping for. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-What if it's a leopard? -Is it a leopard? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
-A leopard! -Shh! | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
After a few more minutes' driving, the team arrives at the destination. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
FRANKIE: All right, guys, | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
how does an impala get into a tree? | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
Sifiso? | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-I think there was a leopard. -That's correct. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
We got a call that there's a female leopard with two cubs | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
that killed this impala. We're just searching for her now. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
This is another chance for the team to see a leopard | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
and complete their big five bush experience. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
It's amazing to see that impala up the tree, and like dead and stuff. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
Obviously there has been a leopard here not that long ago. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
We'll have to hope it does come back with its cubs | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
so we get to see it really clearly. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
But unfortunately, the tree remained empty. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
Basically, we tried, | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
as we did on our walk. It's a very elusive animal. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
Because she's got cubs, she's going to be that much more elusive. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
So unfortunately, she went away from us into the river. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:47 | |
We didn't see her. But maybe next time. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
Once again, the team are disappointed. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
I really wanted to see the leopard. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
But at least the trip wasn't completely wasted. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
We just stopped and we saw wild rhinos. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Two of them. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
Maybe Sifiso can pick up some tips for his talk tomorrow. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
-GIRL: -It looks so pretty! | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
Back at the bush banquet, the team's hard work has really paid off. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
It looks so fancy! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
The table they've laid looks fantastic | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
and the food they've prepared smells great. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
All that's left is to reveal the identity of their mystery guests. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
Your guests are about to arrive. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Are you sure everything is set up to a five-star standard? | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
-Yeah. -OK. It's really, really difficult people that's coming. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
So, you guys can take a seat. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Oh! | 0:20:50 | 0:20:51 | |
The VIPs are the Safari 8. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
We've got springbok sausage. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
Here we go. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
Thank you, Leanne. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
I'm really happy that we made it ourselves. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
We all really thought we were going to get real guests | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
so it was a nice surprise that the food was for us. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
We're so excited. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
And how does that chicken marinade actually taste? | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
It's not nice - it's lovely! | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
Everything is perfect. A little tweaking here or there. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
Perfect for the final challenge. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
So, with bellies full of food, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
it's nearly time for the Safari 8 to hit the hay. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
-How's the banana, Kushal? -It was lovely. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
But the importance of tomorrow's presentations | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
is very much on their minds. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
I'm nervous about tomorrow's presentations | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
because I've got everything prepared and know the facts, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
but it's just that inside feeling and stuff. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
I think I'm going to put in an all-nighter, like. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
The other seven have actually got common animals | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
like the hippo, the lion, the giraffe. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
And it's really easy for them. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
I'm looking forward to the presentation but I'm a bit nervous. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
I can't wait what's going to happen tomorrow. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
It's the next morning, and as the group waits for the presentations, | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
they think about just how important this task could be | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
in determining their roles in the final challenge. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
Cute, hey? | 0:22:29 | 0:22:30 | |
I am feeling a bit of pressure because we don't know our roles. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:36 | |
Everyone is thinking about it. Everyone is hyper and stressed. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
I wouldn't mind any job, but I wanted to be head ranger. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
If I'm not head ranger, be a guide. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
-Ella? -Yes? | 0:22:46 | 0:22:47 | |
I'm going to buy you a big one to keep as a pet! | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
Thank you, Sifiso! | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
That would be the best present ever! | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
The role I would like would be head ranger. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
If I couldn't get head ranger, tracker or a guide. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
I want to be head ranger in the final challenge. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
I love leading and being in charge | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
so I'd like the role of head ranger. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
In the final challenge, the guides will be responsible | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
for entertaining the guests with fascinating facts | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
about every animal they see. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
These presentations are the first opportunity for Frankie and Rudi | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
to see which team members might be best suited to the role. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
You guys need to impress me and Rudi | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
before we can allow you to impress your guests. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
You've got two minutes to deliver your presentation. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
Afterwards, myself and Rudi will give you feedback. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
12-year-old Ella is the first to stand on the hot-spot. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
'I'm a bit nervous about my presentation.' | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
I'm sure it'll be really good. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
I'm very confident that I'll do quite well | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
but I'm still very nervous. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
I'm going to tell you a bit more about the elephant. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:56 | |
The elephant's...tusk...is... | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
The elephant's tusk weighs approximately 13 kilograms. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
It's full of... It's made...thickly from ivor... Ivory. Ivory. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:07 | |
In spite of her earlier confidence, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Ella's nerves are getting the better of her. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
Their feet um, measure approximately 50 centimetres | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
and you times the circumference to get their shoulder height. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
Um... | 0:24:20 | 0:24:21 | |
Yeah, that's about it. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
I heard a lot of "ums". | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
-OK? -Nervous! -I can see that! | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
I want to see a bit more confidence in your knowledge. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
You can hear by the way you talk that that's the words in the book. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
You learned it word for word. Speak from your heart. Be natural. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
It was all in there and I knew that. It's just really hard | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
cos I was under pressure and time limits. I really need | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
to pull my socks up! | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
Next up, Sifiso, | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
who wanted the elephant but ended up with the rhino. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
I've got butterflies in my tummy. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
But I'm going to be OK. | 0:24:58 | 0:24:59 | |
Greetings to you all in the bush. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
I've got an animal which is a rhinoceros. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
English is Sifiso's third language | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
which makes his presentation even more impressive. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
There are two types of rhino, a black and a white rhino. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
A white rhino is a word taken from an Afrikaans word, "weit", | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
which means wild. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
To make it easier, they say white and black rhino, | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
and it's not even white, the white rhino! | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
Thank you, Sifiso. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
I take my hat off to you. Your presentation was very well done. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
You told a story and not just facts. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
That's what you need in a presentation. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Having picked up some useful tips from the first few candidates, | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
the rest sail through and bring some of their own ideas to the table. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
Good afternoon. I will be your tour guide today. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
Remember, it's very hot outside, so remember to drink water | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
and stay in single file when in the bush. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
The leopard is a very unpredictable animal | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
because they're normally reared in softwood trees | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
like the marula and the green fig tree. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
This is a giraffe, also known, as I've named her, Jelly. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
Its scientific name is Giraffa camelopardalis. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
People wonder why they go in the water so well and are so buoyant. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
It's because of their bulky shape. I'll demonstrate. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
You can see why the hippo would float. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
This is the buffalo. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
They can produce 100 to 200 litres of saliva per day. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
That's a lot! | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
Tomas, see what you can do. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
When it comes to Tomas, | 0:26:33 | 0:26:34 | |
will the challenge of the vervet monkey and baboon prove too much? | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
The vervet monkeys are small and different to baboons. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
They've got a really long tail. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
The baboon has... | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
No, has... | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
I don't know. I've mucked up. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
Just go on. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:51 | |
-What else do you know? -I went off the baboon too early. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
That's fine. Go back for the baboon. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
With the mentors' encouragement, Tomas finishes his speech. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
Baboons are 99%, with their genes, close to humans. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
The one per cent is they haven't got a voice box so they can't talk. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
Right, Tomas, well done. You came over very well. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
I think people will listen to you, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
but don't ever say, "I mucked it up." | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
Because people will then find it difficult to believe you again. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
I think they were expecting me to be funny, so they were a bit let down. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
You guys all did really well. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
