This is Kruger National Park in South Africa. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Home to some of the biggest, fastest and deadliest animals on the planet. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:11 | |
CBBC have 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 amazing adventure will be their mentors, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
trails ranger, Rudi... | 0:00:24 | 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 in. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
-..and guide, Frankie. -In the bush, danger can be around any corner. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
The Safari8 need to be alert, and have to be ready at any time. | 0:00:34 | 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 | 0:00:45 | |
Last time, the Safari 8 learnt a hard lesson about tracking leopards. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
If you're talking, we'll just leave. I don't want to hear a whisper. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
There was chaos in the kitchen as the team prepared a bush banquet. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
And the pressure was starting to show. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-Nervous. -I can see that. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
I mucked up on the baboon cos I went off the baboon too early. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
Today, Ranger training ends with the Safari 8's biggest mission so far. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:36 | |
You have to go in. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
-Where? -There. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
-Push in, push in. -Urgh! | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
As the team set up camp, it all falls apart. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
You guys disappoint me. There's no leadership. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
-And the final challenge roles are revealed. -The head ranger will be... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
Oh, come on! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
It's 4am in Kruger, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
and the Safari 8 are fast asleep. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
But, not for long. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
It's the last day of their ranger training, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
and Rudi and Frankie, have decided it's time | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
for a little military style discipline. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
With an early morning wake-up call. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
If you're not ready, you're not going. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Get your clothes on, get your backpack ready, so we can go. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-You're joking?! -No. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
-We've got a big mission for you, today. -Ohh! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
The Safari 8 have been training to be rangers for a month. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-So early starts shouldn't be a problem. -Morning, guys. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
Time to get up, Tomas, Manya. Time to get up. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
I'm actually really annoyed because they said we'd get up at eight. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
And me and Manya were talking all night, thinking we'd have a lie in, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
and then they come and wake us up at half past four in the morning. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Tent buddy, Manya, is a little more enthusiastic. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
I'm looking forward to today cos every time we get up early | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
it's something exciting. I'm looking forward to finding out what it is. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
With the final challenge a day away, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
the rookies must start looking out for each other, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-and working as a team. -Come out of your tent. Come on, Tomas. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Come on, Tomas. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
And if this early morning exercise is anything to go by, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
-there's still a lot of room for improvement. -Let's move! | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
It's an hours drive to the rendezvous point. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
So while some of the team catch up on some much needed sleep, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
the others try to work out what lies in store. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
So far, we haven't seen the leopard and the giraffe | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
and the hippo, up close. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
I really wished it was an elephant capture, cos I really like elephants, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
and I'd really like to study more about elephants. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
And Ella just might be on to something. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
The Safari 8 have already come face-to-face with the buffalo... | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
..rhino, | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
and lion. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
But today, for the final part of their ranger training, | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
the Safari 8 face a mammoth challenge. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
And flying in are the Kruger vets, who the Safari 8 | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
will spend the morning assisting, on an elephant research study. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Heading up the team will be Dr Markus, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
one of South Africa's leading wildlife vets. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
How's it going? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
-Great! -Fantastic! | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
OK, what we're going to do today, is show you and elephant darting. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
And you guys are going to touch an elephant. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
When I heard that we were going to dart one, I was thinking | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
it's just...unbelievable! | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
It's going to be this incredible experience | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
that you just don't...you don't do. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
And just when Ella thinks it couldn't get any better... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Today, we're going to give Ella a chance to test her leadership. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
OK, Ella, you're in charge of the group. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
OK? Check that everybody follows your orders. All right? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
All this is just a dream come true. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
# I'm so excited And I just can't hide it | 0:05:02 | 0:05:08 | |
# I'm about to lose control And I think I like it... # | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
If any proof were needed of her ele-loving credentials, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
just check out her bedroom, at home. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
I've got lots of elephants. They're my favourite animal. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
They're such magnificent creatures. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
And since being in South Africa, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Ella's come nose-to-trunk at an elephant sanctuary, | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
and tracked a wild elephant during ranger training. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
It was amazing. Really was just mind blowing. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
But, has all that prepared her for this? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Darting an elephant from a helicopter allows the vets | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
to get close enough to carry out this vital research. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
As Dr Markus takes to the skies, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Rudi's got some instructions for team-leader, Ella. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Markus will dart the elephant from the chopper. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Very dangerous situation. When it drops, | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
he'll tell me it's safe to move in, and then we'll move in. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Come on! Come on! Come on! | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
This elephant study is Ella's chance to prove to the mentors | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
she's got what it takes to lead the team in the final challenge. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
Make sure we'll work as a team, talk to each other | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
about what we're going to do and what we're thinking | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
about what we're learning. I'll make sure that we're all tight | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
and really safe. I don't want anybody getting hurt. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Kruger may well be home to over 12,000 elephants | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
but it covers an area the size of Wales. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
So Dr Markus is heading towards a likely elephant stomping ground. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
So if you come forward, this is going to be an open area, | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
here on your right. Looks like we'll try here. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
In the world of elephants, bigger is better. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
With a lifespan of 70 years, elephants can grow | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
to twice the height of a human. and weigh as much as a bus. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
And they've jumbo appetites to match, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
spending 16 hours a day eating. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
And all that food results in a lot of dung. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
One dollop every 15 minutes. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
Everyone's on the lookout and it's not long before Dr Markus | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
spots a young bull elephant. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
They should have a visual, in the open area, now. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
Elephants have poor eyesight | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
so the helicopter just looks like a large bird in the sky. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
Which is good news for Dr Markus as he needs to get within 25m | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
to dart the elephant with the sedative. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
Dart's in, and it's gone off. OK, dart's in. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
OK, Rudes, you can come forward, mate. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
As the sleep-inducing drug takes effect, everyone moves in. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
They've just darted the animal now. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
It takes seven minutes for it to go down. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
Wild animals can be extremely dangerous, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
so everybody must approach with caution. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Do you see it? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
The animal's down, you can come forwards a little bit. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
As the vets and rangers rush to check the animal's vital signs | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
the Safari 8 wait anxiously in the game viewer. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
The young bull is out for the count. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
LOW RUMBLING | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
Snoring, blissfully unaware of what's going on around him. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
It's now safe for the Safari 8 to approach. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Their behaviour on this capture | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
could decide which roles they will take in the final challenge. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
Is there any parts we should stay away from? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
No, it's fine. It's fast asleep. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-Can we touch him? -Ya, go for it. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
This is the final part of their ranger training, | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
so I'm expecting 100% from them. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
It's like the Flintstones, you know? | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
The first thing the team need to do | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
is place a twig in the elephant's trunk, to keep its airways open. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
You must sit here, and keep looking at his breathing. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Made up of over 40,000 muscles, | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
the trunk is the flexible nose in the animal kingdom. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
DEEP, REVERBERANT BREATH | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
It's incredible, It's a wild bull and it's...it's right here! Look! | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
I never thought that I would ever see anything so large, | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
so beautiful, so hard, just anything like this in my life. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
You can feel this, like, hair. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Yeah, cos it's a mammal, so it has to have hair. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Getting this close to a elephant | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
is something very few people get to do. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
So this is truly an amazing moment for the team. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
Feels so magical, to just, I don't know, just... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
We touched elephants at the beginning, but these ones are wild | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-so it's really weird. -It's not even tame at all. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
It's like rock. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
The Safari 8 are here to assist the vets. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
Team leader, Ella, is quick to dish out the jobs. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
Ashleigh and Noma, down there. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
Hair analysis can give clues to diet and behaviour... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
It's hair is like wire. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
..so some research samples are collected from the elephant's tail. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
They also need to collect several blood samples for DNA research. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
See it coming, there? I've got three samples, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-Somebody else can do another sample. -Sifiso, | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
and then Tomas. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:16 | |
And it's not just the elephant that's being tested. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
What do you guys know about elephant ears? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
When they're really hot they flap their ears so they can cool down. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:27 | |
Correct. Elephants use their ears to cool down. They don't sweat. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
If you feel the ear, you have arteries and veins in the ear, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
and that's why you see them flap their ears when it's hot. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
We'll pull this out... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
While the team carry on with the samples, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
it's time to take the elephant's temperature. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
And there's only one way to do that. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
You have to go in. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:48 | |
-Where?! -There. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-That's big! -Ja, it is. Push it in. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
-Will it jump? -Push it in. Push in. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
And Caroline better keep her wits about her... | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Ooh, it's touching me! | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
..as every day an elephant's gut produces enough methane gas | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
to fill eight hot-air balloons. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
-35.4. -OK, thank you. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
Everything is going according to plan. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Then, just as Tomas is about to take his turn... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
OK, next blood sample. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
..he faints. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:17 | |
Tomas! You OK? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
OK, sit down, with your head between you legs. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
Head between your legs. Tomas? | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
You all right? You OK, Tomas? | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
Tomas had a really strong reaction to seeing blood | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
and he just, basically became pale and he just passed out. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
OK, stand still. Stand still. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:35 | |
I've never fainted before, so it was quite a weird experience. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
I think it was the blood and I woke up quite early as well. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
You all right. OK, wait. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
While Rudi takes Tomas back to the game viewer, to rest, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
time is running out. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
So Ella helps give the elephant an injection to wake it up. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
Move back to the vehicles, please. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
Single file. Single file. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
With Tomas on the mend, the rest of the team join him | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
to watch, as the elephant makes a textbook recovery... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
ELEPHANT GRUMBLES | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
..and is quickly back on its feet. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
The Safari 8 kids are really impressing me at the moment. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
It's the final day of their ranger training, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
and they're really working as a team. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
Very pleased, well done. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:22 | |
But, have Ella's leadership skills impressed the mentors? | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
Ella is taking the leadership role seriously. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
We'll keep on looking at her throughout the day | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
and then we'll see. There's other leaders also in the group. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
With all the team performing so well, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
choosing just one person to be head ranger is going to be a tough job. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
Still to come, with ranger training complete | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
preparations for the final challenge begin. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
I am going to try very hard to impress Rudi and Frankie | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
with my leadership skills. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
Teamwork, quickly becomes a distant memory... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
If we carry on like this, we won't do too well. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
We need to get our team together. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:02 | |
and Rudi and Frankie's decisions don't please everyone. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
I'm really not happy with the job I was given. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
If there was any that I didn't want to do, it was that one. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
Over the next two days, the Safari 8 will need to put on | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
the ultimate safari experience for their mystery celebrity guests. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
So, Rudi and Frankie have brought the team to where it all begins. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
And there's a lot to do before their guests arrive, in the morning. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
This is the site for your final challenge. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
We've only provided you with an electric fence, some tents and water. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:46 | |
The rest is up to you. You need to pitch up tents for yourselves, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
for your guests and for me and Frankie. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
You need to figure out where to put the bathroom, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
figure out where to put the kitchen. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
You need to select tent sites. All by yourselves. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
Also, the roles for the final challenge has not been decided yet. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
So this is your last chance to impress us, so we can see | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
who is going to do what. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
OK, off you go. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
The only way to get the new camp up and running, is to work as a team. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
And every team needs a strong leader. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
We should first discuss where we want everything to be, | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
and then all decide who's going to do this and that. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
I'm going to try very hard to impress Rudi and Frankie. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
I hope I do impress them | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
and I hope I do get the position and the role that I want. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
So, maybe if we all did two teams? Four and four? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
And we each put up all the tents, that would go really fast. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:46 | |
Let's start setting the up then. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
With everyone wanting to take the lead, what could possibly go wrong? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
Pull it out. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
Good work, guys. Keep it up. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
It's not long before aspiring actress Ashleigh, | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
quickly takes centre stage. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
Just figuring out where to put our tents. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
As soon as we lay them out flat, we'll be able to see what looks good | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
and what doesn't, so we can swap it around. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
I think we can move this one this way a bit, move that one a bit forward, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
then they're surrounding each other. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
But is anyone impressing the mentors? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
Looking at Kushal, he came through the ranks | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
these last couple of weeks. Actually impressed me a lot. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
OK, if we open this one here, we've got one more tent left. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
That means we're going to move the others. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Nomalungelo is the same. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:31 | |
-Very quiet in the beginning. -She's grown a lot. -She's grown a lot. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
We need to tie this in here, so... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-And Manya, impressed us both... -Hmm. -..from the beginning. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
This is important to him. I think he wants the... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
He wants the role. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
We've done a great job, on our second tent already. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
Ha-ha! Kushal's fallen over in the tent! | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
Our tent didn't fall. Kushal fell in it. So... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
it's a work in progress, OK? | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
As the tents go up... | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Oooh! | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
..so do the stress levels. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
You guys need to hurry up. Those poles are bending too much. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
At first, as we started pitching our tents | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
we thought we were doing really well. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
Everyone was trying their best... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
Guys, I can't do it if too many people crown round... | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
..and then as we got to the last tent, everyone was screaming | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
-and there was no chance for someone to lead the group. -Get on with it. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
Time's a wasting. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
Someone go help Ella, please, on that side. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
They are not listening. They are still just mucking about. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
If we carry on like this, we're not going to do too well. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
We need to get our teamwork together. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
With everyone talking, no-one is listening. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
There's only so much Rudi and Frankie can take. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
Stand still and listen. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
You guys disappoint me. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
There's no leadership here. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
Everybody shouting, to impress us. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
But nobody's working together. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
And Rudi's right. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
Throughout their training the Safari 8 have found teamwork | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
the hardest lesson to learn. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Especially when faced with a challenge. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
It's not a lion, and it's not this. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
To be honest with you, you guys did not work as a team. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Can you help me? No...you're bending it the wrong way. No. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Leave that one, let me finish this. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
They can't argue amongst themselves. They have to work as a team | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
Otherwise, they are going to confuse the guests they are taking out. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
It's clear to the mentors the only way the Safari 8 | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
are going to work well as a team, is with a leader. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Time for a team talk. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
Can any one of you eight tell me what is a leader? | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
-Manya? -A leader is someone who takes charge of the situation | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
and gets the people he's working with to work together as a team, | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
and get the job done. | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
If you are a leader, you talk, people listen. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
Not just everyone throws in ideas, and nothing gets done in the end. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
Whoever's chosen as leader, you guys need to listen to him or her. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
Something needs to happen. OK? We want you guys to succeed. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
You guys can do it. You've got it on you. All of you. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
If we don't work together as a team, there's no way we can do | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
he final challenge. Up to this day, we've not been a team, | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
and it's really worrying me. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Challenge starts tomorrow. I see a lot of grim faces. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
If I was a guest, and I see all those glum faces... | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
I would turn back and go home. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
..I need some smiles and some positiveness. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
I think I'd be disappointed if we failed the final challenge. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
We've worked so hard and put in so much effort, | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
to get the results that I think we all deserve, would be really nice. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
-Are you guys positive? -Yes. -Do you think you can do it? -Yes. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
-Can you? -YES! -Yes, exactly. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
As well as mentoring the Safari 8, Rudi and Frankie | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
have assessed their progress throughout their training. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
And they will select who takes on which role in the final challenge. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
But, before any decisions are made, the Safari 8 have one last chance | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
to pitch for their dream role. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
First to take the hot seat is Manya. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
This is your last opportunity to tell us what you think you should be. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-Go for it. -I think I should be head ranger. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
I've really worked hard in the last month, paid attention. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
I do enjoy being the leader of the group, | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
and getting everyone to cooperate and manage the team. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
I really enjoy doing that. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
And Ashleigh's also eying up the top slot. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
In the beginning I kind of had Manya in mind, being my head ranger. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
Then when I saw the way he was acting today, or the days before, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
I got the feeling that he never pulled through, to be my leader. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
So then I thought of myself, in his shoes, and I really believe | 0:20:06 | 0:20:13 | |
I have the confidence and the ability to help this team | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
do really, really, really well for the final challenge. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
Next to make his case is Sifiso. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
Well, I see myself in the final challenge as a guide. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
I also thought about head ranger cos I always give a chance | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
and listen to other people's opinion. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
So I think I will do a great job leading people. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
Then Ella puts in her pitch. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
It would be great to be head ranger. The opportunity would be excellent. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
But, tracking I love, that's REALLY exciting. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
When I see spoor, it just gives me this feeling of adrenaline | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
and it makes me feel so relaxed | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
cos then we've got this glimmer of hope that we could find this animal. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
And Kushal's got a dilemma. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
I'm split between head ranger and tracker. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
I like being a leader and stuff. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
I think tracker because I like looking at different spoor. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
Its like a hard job, but it's so fun, spotting everything around, | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
seeing tracks, of just say, an elephant, that has gone through. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
That's why I really want to be a tracker. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
Then it's Tomas, who's only got one job in mind. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
I think I probably want to be hospitality. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
I think, because I'm a good entertainer. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
And when we were in the kitchen, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
I thought that I did the meat quite good. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
Nomalungelo is looking at the bigger picture. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
I like hospitality, I like being a guide, | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
and maybe a head ranger. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
I like hospitality because | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
when you get a triangle, you've got your base and your top. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
And with most of us, the way we view it, the head ranger is at the top | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
and hospitality is at the bottom. And if you look at a triangle | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
without the bottom or the top, you have nothing. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
Last in is Caroline, and she's not so sure. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
I'd like to do, obviously, the head ranger, the tracker and the guide. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
I think that was cos I felt the head ranger was the better-off person. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:11 | |
The hospitality were the people you thought weren't the best people | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
at the stuff...ranger people. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
Hospitality is not for the people we think can't do a proper job. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
Hospitality is very, very important in the final challenge. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
If the hospitality people mess it up, | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
then the whole day can be ruined for the guest. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
They've all had their say. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
Manya, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:36 | |
Ashleigh, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
Sifiso, | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
Nomalungelo, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:41 | |
Caroline, | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
Ella, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
and Kushal all want the top job. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
But only one of them will get it. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Finally, it's the moment of truth. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
Right, guys, after much deliberation between Frank and myself | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
we've come up with the roles for each of you. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
Just to make it very clear to all of you, head ranger is someone | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
who takes control. That person is the first one up in the morning, | 0:23:10 | 0:23:15 | |
and the last one to go to bed. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:16 | |
It all boils down to the lucky head ranger, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:21 | |
whoever he or she might be. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
The head ranger will be... | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
Don't do this! | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
-Congratulations, Manya. -Well done, Manya. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:46 | |
You will be taking lead of this squad. We felt that you had | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
what it takes to become head ranger, so all the emphasis is on you, now. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:54 | |
It was so amazing to be chosen as the head ranger. I'm so happy. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
I'll make sure the team wins the challenge. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
We have to, we've come this far, worked so hard. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
We can do it, just teamwork, working together and we'll do it. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
So, for the next roles, the guides. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
The guides are people that can communicate well. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
They need to know everything about what's happening out in the bush. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
They need to know information about animals, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
and the guides are the following... | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
Oh, come on. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
Noma. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
Sifiso. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
Ashleigh. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
I'm really happy with my role | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
because I know a lot about the animals | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
and I can't wait to tell our guests all about them. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
OK, the trackers. Trackers need to know how to track animals, | 0:24:42 | 0:24:47 | |
they need to know what the spoor looks like, how fresh it is. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
They need to know information, like the guides, about the animals. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
And the tracker team is... | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
Ella... | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
.and Kushal. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
I think being a tracker is a very important job. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
You have to find animals for your guest, or they won't see anything. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:12 | |
It can be a difficult job, but extremely fun. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
So far, so good. Everyone's happy. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
but, with only two positions left in hospitality, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
is that all about to change? | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
You guys are in charge of entertaining the guests. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
making sure their is sufficient food on the table, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
and all day-to-day runnings of this camp. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
Congratulations, Tomas. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
And then last but not least, | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Caroline. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
Really not happy with the job I was given. It was like, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:46 | |
if there was anything that I didn't want to do, it was that. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
I really didn't want to do it. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
All right, guys, now that you all know what you are doing | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
in the final challenge, good luck. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
-ALL: -Thank you. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
With the mystery celebrity guests arriving in the morning, | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
newly appointed head ranger, Manya, takes charge. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
On the game-drive, we'll have two vehicles. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
one for the guests and the guides, at the back. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
Myself and the two trackers will go in the front and look for tracks | 0:26:12 | 0:26:18 | |
and find pathways. You guys agree? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
ALL: Yes. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:21 | |
OK, so let's go. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
With the trackers and guides organised, | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
Manya checks on the hospitality team's progress. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
-This is the bathroom. -Ja, I think it's really nice. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
I like that it's shaded, and also it will stop the smell coming through. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:39 | |
I just feel that I'm not involved enough. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
It's not the massivest job. I wanted something to do with the animals | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
and something... a really exciting job. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
Just make sure they're always happy, they've got food, bedroom's tidy, | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
the toilet's tidy. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
It sounds like we're getting turned into maids | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
and that was one of the reasons why I didn't want to do this. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
