0:00:02 > 0:00:05This is Kruger National Park in South Africa,
0:00:05 > 0:00:11home to some of the biggest, fastest and deadliest animals on the planet.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16CBBC have brought four British and four South African children
0:00:16 > 0:00:20to spend a month here, training to be rookie game rangers.
0:00:20 > 0:00:26Leading them on the adventure are their mentors - trail ranger Rudi...
0:00:26 > 0:00:30It's taken me years to learn to be a ranger, they have a month.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32..and guide Frankie.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38Danger can be around any corner. They have to be alert and ready.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Eight kids, two mentors and one massive challenge -
0:00:42 > 0:00:46to lead two celebrity guests on the safari of a lifetime.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12The rookie rangers had a close encounter with one of the Big Five.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Just push it.- I'm going to be sick!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And they settled into their new home.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23The treehouse is just amazing!
0:01:23 > 0:01:29Today, the rookie rangers leave the treehouse for good,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31replacing luxury for camping.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I don't like it here!
0:01:34 > 0:01:39The team experience an unforgettable sighting...
0:01:39 > 0:01:41It was the most incredible experience ever!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45..and there's tension brewing in camp.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Let me finish this one!
0:01:54 > 0:01:59It's a week into their training and, so far, the rookie rangers
0:01:59 > 0:02:03have had the comfort of a roof over their heads,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06but mentors Rudi and Frankie have some news.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12All right, we have decided we are going to take you deep into the bush
0:02:12 > 0:02:17so that you can experience what we experience every single day.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20ALL: Amazing!
0:02:20 > 0:02:2315 minutes, guys. Go and pack.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31News of the departure has left the Safari 8 with mixed feelings.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- I'm going to miss my bed so much! - And the bathroom.- And the showers.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41I really want air-conditioning in the next place cos I'm sweating!
0:02:41 > 0:02:48If I had to choose between luxury and camping, I'd pick luxury.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'm looking forward to moving to a new environment.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57I don't have any concerns other than wildlife biting our heads off.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03My nice, neat and tidy bed... that I will miss very much!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13As the Safari 8 bid farewell to the treehouse,
0:03:13 > 0:03:20they have no idea where they're heading, but Tomas has some ideas.
0:03:20 > 0:03:28Some rundown shack! No air-con, and it's like 40 degrees!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32The mentors are taking the Safari 8 deeper into the bush
0:03:32 > 0:03:36to a remote spot where tourists are not allowed.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43The Safari 8 have nearly arrived at their new home.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47The last leg of the journey is on foot,
0:03:47 > 0:03:52so keeping quiet and walking in single file is essential
0:03:52 > 0:03:57as the team are deep in the bush and dangerous animals could be anywhere.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04This will be the rookie rangers' base for the rest of their stay.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10An electric fence surrounds the camp to keep the wild animals outside...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14..and the Safari 8 safe inside.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18The team get their first glimpse of their new home.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And they like what they see.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- It's amazing!- Cool.- Oh, my goodness!
0:04:29 > 0:04:32A buffalo head.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35What do you guys think about the view?
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Their camp overlooks the river bed - a prime spot for animal sighting.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I'm speechless!- I can see that.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49OK, guys, welcome to your new camp. Do you know what the camp's name is?
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- No.- Sikhaya.- Means home.- It's home. Sifisu, it's Zulu, eh?
0:04:56 > 0:05:01We have a bit of an insect problem. You have to get used to that.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Keep your tents closed, the zips closed.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09You will have to pitch your own tent now.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- What?!- We will help you with that.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16It's part of your final challenge.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18In their final challenge,
0:05:18 > 0:05:24the team will lead their guests on a two-day safari, set up camp
0:05:24 > 0:05:26and even provide the entertainment!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Ok, let's go to the camp sites.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35The mentors have decided who shares the tents
0:05:35 > 0:05:40to make sure the Brits and the South Africans get to know each other.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's just a grasshopper.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It's a grasshopper!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Open the whole tent. - I'm really excited to camp.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I think it's going to be fun.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Not everyone shares Manya's excitement.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I've never been camping before.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13I don't like sleeping close to someone, I like my space.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16But I suppose you have to get over it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Good, there we go.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I think we're going to have our tent up first.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29Putting their tent up is bringing Tomas and Manya closer together.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32But how is everyone else bonding?
0:06:32 > 0:06:37I'm doing that! Getting it out the way! This is one end...
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Me and Kushal were getting on very well and I think...
0:06:42 > 0:06:46enjoying one another's company. All of a sudden, he just changed.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49You're bending it! No, don't do that!
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Kushal tries too hard. He doesn't know how to deal with his anger.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58I got a bit annoyed that he didn't help me as much as I wanted.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Help me. It's hooked into that.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I feel so sad for somebody shouting at me. It feels so...irritating.
0:07:07 > 0:07:13Oh! Silly thing! Ow!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Noma and Caroline have their tent up first,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20but how much did they do themselves?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25I did really... But there was loads of wee bugs and beasties and...!
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Oh! Look! They're crawling all over it!
0:07:29 > 0:07:33For Kushal, it's a frustrating experience.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It doesn't stay straight! The whole thing should be flat!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's just in a bundle!
0:07:39 > 0:07:44I'm really...not understanding anything. I feel SO angry just now.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Someone's not very happy with who they're with.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54Kushal may be getting frustrated, he wanted to be with Manya.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Can you come and help someone who needs help now, please?!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I wanted to be with Manya cos I've talked to him a lot.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I wasn't that worried,
0:08:03 > 0:08:09but then I think Sifiso felt it a bit offputting cos I'm quite loud
0:08:09 > 0:08:13and quite in your face a bit and he's quite quiet and laid-back.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18While Kushal and Sifiso are finding it tricky, Manya and Tomas are glad
0:08:18 > 0:08:21they're second to get their tent up.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Caroline, on the other hand, is not as happy.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33I hate bugs! They're so creepy and crawly and they're all over our tent!
0:08:33 > 0:08:39I just hate them so much. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43They're everywhere - in my tent and in my sleeping bag.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I don't like it! SQUEALING
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Aagh!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- It's just a...- I don't like it here!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Yay!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Ashleigh and Ella finish next.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06They lend a hand to Kushal and Sifiso who are still struggling.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Oh!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11There we go! Well done!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15They finally have their tent up, but Kushal is still frustrated.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I'm going to let out my anger here.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26This is extremely good therapy cos all my anger is being let out
0:09:26 > 0:09:29beating some pegs into the ground.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34It may be therapeutic for Kushal, but less so for Sifiso.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46With camp pitched, Rudi and Frankie head off with the rookie rangers.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52But one member of the group has decided not to go.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Sifiso wants some time out so he stays in the camp with ranger Jacob.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Sifiso overheard me saying that I didn't want to share with Sifiso
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and I think he was upset about that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10It made me sad. I was so upset. I was so hurt, truly hurt,
0:10:10 > 0:10:15because of this kind of comment. But I think I'm going to be OK.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Kushal is quite a vocal little guy.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23The kids need to work as a team and have to sort these things out now.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I think Sifiso, even though he is quiet,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29he's a strong guy, yeah.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34And Sifiso's family know better than anyone how determined he is.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42He's a go-getter. Very stubborn.
0:10:42 > 0:10:48If he wants something, he makes sure he gets it. He's a hustler.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50He's doing very well at school.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55He knows how to socialise with people and makes friends very easily.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I have learnt a lot from him.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I'm from a loving and caring family.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04They put through that love so I spread it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09Aren't you forgetting to introduce the rest of your family, Sifiso?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I have seven chickens.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Three are male and four are female chickens.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19What I like about my chickens is that they make noise in the morning.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- CROWING - They wake me up sometimes.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27His dad owns a hardware store
0:11:27 > 0:11:30and Sifiso loves to help out.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33He's helping me with writing invoices
0:11:33 > 0:11:37and explaining the product to the customers.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Outside of work and play, he's a regular on a local radio station.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46..Sifiso, our very own kids' talk co-host.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51He's joining us today for a very different reason - Safari 8.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56It's going to be a show that will be broadcast...
0:11:56 > 0:12:01We debate things like politics in South Africa, teenage pregnancy -
0:12:01 > 0:12:04things that affect us as teenagers.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10I'll miss home, but it'll be nice cos it's an experience.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19With Sifiso back in camp,
0:12:19 > 0:12:25it's up to Safari 7 to take on Rudi and Frankie's latest challenge.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30If you are stranded in the bush and can't get food, you have a problem.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34There is an insect, it's called the mopane worm.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39This worm is actually the larvae of a mopane moth.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41This is the worm when it's dried.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46When you're in the bush, you haven't eaten for two or three days,
0:12:46 > 0:12:51this is going to look like a 500g steak. Who is up for trying one?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56OK, Tomas. Just wait. Just keep it in your hand.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- We'll just hand it out... - CAROLINE: Oh, it stinks!
0:13:00 > 0:13:05Just take it. Noma? Come on, I'll make you a deal.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11- If you eat one, I will eat one.- As if you haven't eaten one before...
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- It looks like barbecue! - You guys ready?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I'll take the first one. - CRUNCHING
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Tomas?- Did you eat the whole thing?!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It doesn't taste bad!
0:13:29 > 0:13:33RUDI AND FRANKIE LAUGH >
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Kushal.- I can't bite into it!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Put it in your mouth.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47It's not too bad, is it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Noma!
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Noma, come on! You made a deal with me!
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Well done. You've done something
0:14:03 > 0:14:08that some other guys I know have never tried and will never try.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- < Is it Rudi?- No, I never said Rudi.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- < But is it Rudi?! - CHANTING: Rudi! Rudi!
0:14:15 > 0:14:20CHANTING: Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
0:14:30 > 0:14:37Still to come. The Safari 8 are left speechless at an elephant encounter.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39You don't realise how big they are.
0:14:39 > 0:14:45Teamwork is tested as the Safari 8 tackle a local team at footie.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49It's the first night in camp for Safari 8
0:14:49 > 0:14:54and, for some of the rookie rangers, it's going to be a challenge.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01I can't touch the ground. Noma keeps telling me
0:15:01 > 0:15:03there's bugs and beasties everywhere.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I've got toothpaste, but no toothbrush.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's like buying a car with no petrol.
0:15:09 > 0:15:15- You see, I just took another bug off.- Ohh, it doesn't help!
0:15:15 > 0:15:19I think Caroline is making it worse, because every second,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21if someone touches her, she freaks out,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25so because everyone is a bit tired, I have to join in the frenzy
0:15:25 > 0:15:27and be hyped myself.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Jeez!- Did you see that?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Impala, they're everywhere.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I think that 90% of all animals in Kruger are impala.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I reckon we should take all the impalas out of Kruger
0:15:43 > 0:15:45and put them somewhere else, so even if you see an animal,
0:15:45 > 0:15:50it's rare, in our eyes. Because all you see is impala.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Everyone seems to be enjoying their tent buddy,
0:15:55 > 0:15:59but after today's earlier tensions, how is Sifiso feeling about Kushal?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02By the look of things, it's getting better.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I think me and Kushal will be friends in the end,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08because we'll probably spend a lot of time together.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10So I think we're going to be friends.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13HE SIGHS
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Tough day.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Kushal is trying to make it up to Sifiso,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and he's even named their tent after him.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- We call it the Hustler House. - The Hustler House.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- The H House!- The Hustler House! - Only hustlers allowed here.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46It's early morning in Kruger and after their first night in camp,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48how are the rookie rangers feeling?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51My first night in the bush was exciting,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54because I had to, like, sleep like a baby, I'd had a long day.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I'm getting to know Kushal better,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and I think we're trying to sort out our problems,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- and I think it's getting better. - I've learned you need to relate
0:17:03 > 0:17:08to the person quite calmly, and I think by the end of the week,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10or maybe tomorrow, we'll be really good friends.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Life in the bush is still proving difficult
0:17:16 > 0:17:19for one person in particular.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25My first night's sleep was a disaster.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's not the best experience when you're sitting in your bed
0:17:28 > 0:17:31and crawling all over you are massive big bugs.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Today, Caroline will be relieved
0:17:37 > 0:17:42that small creatures will be replaced by the largest land mammal,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45as the mentors are taking the Safari 8 tracking for elephants.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Frankie is in the traditional "spotter" position
0:17:50 > 0:17:51on the front of the game viewer,
0:17:51 > 0:17:55so he can see any signs of elephants more easily.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04The team have spotted elephants in the distance,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08so Frankie and Rudi are going ahead to check if it's safe.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10All rangers carry rifles with them for safety
0:18:10 > 0:18:13when walking in the bush.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16The elephant means a lot to me,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19because when I was watching a documentary,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22years ago, they always used to look straight at me,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24and I'd usually think it was a sign.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I like elephants because they have big brains, like me -
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I always say that, every time! And they are so clever.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33They're so big and unique.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38Back from the bush, the rangers nominate the leader
0:18:38 > 0:18:40for today's important role.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I want Noma to be in charge of the Safari 8 group,
0:18:44 > 0:18:48and make sure that everybody's quiet, OK?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Keep in line, keep the group nice and tight.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54If anything happens, you listen to myself and Rudi,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57we will tell you exactly where to go and direct you to safety.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Seriously, no loud noises, OK?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02OK.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06OK, you guys can see he's been walking that way,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09and see how fresh it is.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14We just saw it now, and see how well defined these cracks in his foot.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17We'll try and follow it on the grass, but as soon as you see
0:19:17 > 0:19:22that it goes into the grass, it's very difficult to pick up the spoor.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Spoor is animal tracks or trails it's left behind.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30And what do you check then? Check this. Check the wind.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37See the wind, OK? Basically, you want to approach the elephant up-wind,
0:19:37 > 0:19:42so he doesn't smell you, OK? So always remember where the wind is.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49(This part's good, being the person in charge today.)
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I turned back and I told them to keep it low,
0:19:52 > 0:19:53to be quiet, to walk in a line,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57and they listened and looked straight and did as they were told,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59which was very good.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03I think Noma did quite well in controlling the kids.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07She took responsibility really quickly and kept them in check.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- (Right, sit down.)- (Oh, wow!)
0:20:21 > 0:20:23(He's right through there.)
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Honestly, I think they were more excited than scared.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29If you look at little Ella, she was just over the moon.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I've never seen a kid's face like that,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33when the elephant was standing there.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38(So what we're going to do now is how to approach an elephant, OK?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41(You can still feel the wind. Feel the wind.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42(Where's it going?)
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- (That way.)- (Going that way.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48(You have to look at where to approach it, where is it safe?
0:20:48 > 0:20:53(So, basically, you find a nice structure to stand behind,
0:20:53 > 0:20:54(let the elephant not see you.)
0:21:07 > 0:21:10(He saw us. Did you see him?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15(He lifted up his head, made himself like this.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20(He's listening. When they stop feeding,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23(then you know that they're seriously listening
0:21:23 > 0:21:26(to what's going on around them. OK?)
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- (Not a threat?)- (He doesn't see us as a threat, yet.)
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Guys, what I want to do now is to get behind this tree, OK?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Because at the moment, he can see us.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41But he's very relaxed.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44That's the difference between your cows, that's in a herd,
0:21:44 > 0:21:50and a bull, OK? The bulls are normally quite relaxed.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04(Fine, OK.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07(Now, if an animal moves, that's when you stop
0:22:07 > 0:22:09(and you see what it's doing.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12(Now I think we can go closer.)
0:22:15 > 0:22:18It's so big, you don't realise how big they are
0:22:18 > 0:22:22until you see one up close, so it's really, really cool.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26(OK, guys, listen up, listen.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30(This is now the safe position. We're not going closer than this.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34(You give the animals always an escape route,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36(if he wants to go, he can go,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39(he's got the whole river bed that he can cross,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43(so he can get away from us. Always look at his posture.)
0:22:43 > 0:22:46What he's doing with his body. If he stops feeding,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50if he's keeping his trunk still and he's listening,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54then that, you need to be wary of, OK?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56So, always look at his posture.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59And you can see, he's quite relaxed, he's feeding,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02he's flapping his ears, and that's all nice for us,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06that's a perfect position, a perfect body posture.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09It was the most incredible experience ever,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12because it was right there and you had to keep quiet,
0:23:12 > 0:23:17because it's not like when you go and you pay to see a tame one,
0:23:17 > 0:23:18it could charge you.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22It's not one of those things that you see and go, "That was nice,"
0:23:22 > 0:23:24it's really, like, it makes a huge impact.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27OK. Stay still, stay still.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's getting more agitated, hey?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We're going to move out of the area now.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41If an animal gets too agitated, at one stage he's going to turn on us,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and he might charge, OK? So, basically, what we need to do now
0:23:45 > 0:23:49is listen, walk in single file,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52keep on this pathway that we came through,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55quietly move out, no talking. I knows it's exciting,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58but no talking now.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06That was my first experience of seeing an elephant in the wild.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09It was amazing, it really was just mind-blowing.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Ella may be elated,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15but the potential dangers of tracking elephants
0:24:15 > 0:24:16has hit home for Tomas.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21I still don't feel very confident about taking people
0:24:21 > 0:24:26out on safari, because we still don't know a lot about animals,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29all the tricks of the trade and stuff.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36All right, kids, good afternoon, welcome to Skukuza soccer pitch.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Rudi and Frankie are keen to see the Safari 8 work as a team,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42so they've arranged a football match with some local children.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Today we're looking at teamwork.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48The mentors have chosen a leader for the challenge.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52And we've decided to designate Sifiso as captain today.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54He's going to set up the field,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57and everyone listen to Sifiso on the pitch, all right?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- OK, guys...- Sifiso, we chose him as a captain
0:24:59 > 0:25:03because I think he's quite quiet at the moment, but there's some
0:25:03 > 0:25:06really good leadership characteristics in him.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12The rookie rangers fear they're up against stiff competition.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15It was scary meeting the other children,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18because they looked a bit older and so mature,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22and they looked like they knew what they were doing.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Team Safari 8!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26THEY CHEER
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- High-five! - Seriously, I'm so embarrassed!
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Come on, Team Safari 8, show them what you're made of!
0:25:37 > 0:25:39WHISTLE BLOWS
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Caroline, when she did the kick-off,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44she just kicked it straight to them!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Oh, dear. Can it get any worse?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Ella got a ball in her face, it was so sad!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56The ball came flying into her head,
0:25:56 > 0:26:01but she didn't cry or start screaming.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Ooh, close call, but no goal!
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Sifiso makes a run for it,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11but he's brought down by the opposition.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16It's a penalty kick for Safari 8, but will Sifiso score?
0:26:17 > 0:26:18THEY CHEER
0:26:18 > 0:26:22What a sublime goal from the Safari 8 captain!
0:26:27 > 0:26:30But the Safari 8 can't hang onto the lead for long,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32as the opposition score to equalise.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35With the clock ticking, will either team win?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42And it's a late goal for the opposition,
0:26:42 > 0:26:46which means the Safari 8 have lost the match.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49CHEERING
0:26:49 > 0:26:51The rookie rangers are defeated 2-1,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55but who is everyone's man of the match?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Sifiso was absolutely brilliant. He scored our one and only goal,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02and he was our captain, which made it even better.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05He was the one who scored our goal, he told us all what to do,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08he did play really well, so I think he did a good job.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Glad you enjoyed it.- Yeah!
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Being a captain was very exciting and I felt very special,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I was a leader.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19It's been a mixed couple of days for Sifiso,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21but after his performance as captain,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23how does his tent buddy Kushal rate him?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Sifiso was really good as captain.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28He positioned us well, his goal was fantastic,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32he put it right into the corner. He's a really good captain.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36It was really nice to do something all together as a team.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38It's helped us all co-operate more,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41and we need to do that right now as a group,
0:27:41 > 0:27:45because we'll get closer together the more things we do together.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Next time - the Safari 8 become at one with the bush...
0:27:51 > 0:27:54It's a different make-up from what I'd usually wear!
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Feel like the SAS!
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- ..Have a heart-stopping encounter... - I want everybody to follow me.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02We realised that there was another one coming towards us.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06..And cleaning up in camp gets very dirty.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Oh, that is not fair!
