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.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17CBBC have brought four British and four South African children
0:00:17 > 0:00:20to spend a month here training to be rookie game rangers.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Leading them on this amazing adventure
0:00:23 > 0:00:26will be their mentors, trails ranger Rudi...
0:00:26 > 0:00:28It's taken me years to learn to be a ranger.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30They've only got one month to do it.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34- ..and guide Frankie.- In the bush, danger can be around any corner.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38The Safari 8 needs to be alert and has to be ready at any time.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Eight kids, two mentors and one massive challenge -
0:00:42 > 0:00:46to lead two celebrity guests on a safari experience of a lifetime.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Last time, the Safari 8
0:01:09 > 0:01:10had a taste of Zulu life...
0:01:10 > 0:01:14The boys had to do basically nothing. We had to do all the work.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- ..and got to learn some new moves. - We've so won this.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22On today's show, the team have
0:01:22 > 0:01:25a close encounter with a cheetah...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Fantastic. I mean, I just touched a cheetah.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31..get hands-on with a young orphan,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33and there's trouble in camp.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Oh Ashleigh, you stupid mess!
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Today, the mentors have brought the Safari 8 to the state vet
0:01:46 > 0:01:49to find out what happens when a sick or injured animal
0:01:49 > 0:01:50is found in Kruger Park.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Guys, good morning.- Morning.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Rangers went out on patrol yesterday,
0:01:56 > 0:02:02and they found a couple of guinea fowl that looked very, very ill.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04These guinea fowl had lost their ability to run.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07'They brought them into here.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09'Some of them unfortunately didn't make it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12'We did a postmortem to see what's wrong with them.'
0:02:12 > 0:02:14And the rest are all in here.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The birds are ill with suspected lead poisoning.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Today, the rookie rangers will take these sick guinea fowl
0:02:21 > 0:02:24to a rehabilitation centre where they'll be treated
0:02:24 > 0:02:27before hopefully being released back into the wild.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Rudi and Frankie have chosen Caroline to be leader.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33And you're going to help me put them in the boxes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35'I'm really happy that I've'
0:02:35 > 0:02:37become the team leader today,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39because I like working with animals
0:02:39 > 0:02:42that are sick, because I want to be a vet.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Is that part of a ranger's job
0:02:44 > 0:02:47to try and help save all the animals in the park?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51We try and keep the Kruger National Park as natural as possible
0:02:51 > 0:02:52and minimum interference.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55So anything man-made, like snares, poisoning...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Anything like that, we interfere.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- There they are.- Ja.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Basically, just grab them by the wings.- OK.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- OK, so one in.- Then you just hold it tight like that?- Yeah.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13OK. That's one box.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17'It's quite fun to catch the guinea fowl, cos you get to pick them up.'
0:03:17 > 0:03:19It's interesting that they can't move.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22'I'm used to seeing them run really fast.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25'They're trying to get away but can't move anywhere.'
0:03:25 > 0:03:28It must be quite scary for them as well. Got it!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30WINGS RUSTLE
0:03:30 > 0:03:31They won't stay still.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- OK. - SHE LAUGHS
0:03:36 > 0:03:38The guinea fowl are now ready
0:03:38 > 0:03:41for their journey to the rehabilitation centre,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45where many sick and injured animals end up.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Guys, are you excited? - Yeah, I'm so excited.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51It's really cool. This is like our own little project.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56We can't let these guinea fowl down cos it's humans who made them sick,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00so we've got to try and show them that humans aren't that bad.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Honestly, before I came here, I had no idea what a ranger did,
0:04:03 > 0:04:08how much he did. I knew it had to do with animals and conserving them,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11but I had no idea it was everything to do with
0:04:11 > 0:04:13helping little guinea fowl, taking them to vets.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17It's... They have such a big job.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Waiting to meet them is Brian, who runs the centre.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Hello, you big game rangers. Good morning. Welcome to Moholoholo.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Can I shake your hand?- Oh yes. - You are?- Noma.- Noma.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- And you are?- Ashleigh.- Well done.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- You go in and you go to the left there.- OK.- Thank you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39That's right. So all in three boxes, eh? That's pretty good.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Let's see how quickly we can do something with him now.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Put the box up there.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- How many are in here? - Three in this box...- Three.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49We can't take all three at one time.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So we'll do the male first. OK.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56When we get anything in that's...we don't know what's wrong with it,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00first we give it fluids to flush it out, to get the kidneys functioning
0:05:00 > 0:05:02and the bowels moving. We do suspect poisoning.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06We stuck this long tube to inject some liquid
0:05:06 > 0:05:10'into the guinea fowl's body, and we had to put it down its throat.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'I thought that would have hurt it, but it doesn't.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15'It's amazing how different animals work.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18'I think I've been given the perfect,'
0:05:18 > 0:05:21absolutely best job in the whole world, so I am super super happy.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- OK.- 'Going in with the vet is really really cool,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29'to be able to get to see the work that they do on sick guinea fowls'
0:05:29 > 0:05:30and being able to take part
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- 'in what they do.'- OK, go.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Put it back down. Close it up, please.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38I felt really happy
0:05:38 > 0:05:40that we were helping an animal
0:05:40 > 0:05:43'that was sick and poorly, and I felt privileged to do this.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45'Not many people get to do it.'
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I really hope they all come through and be healthy afterwards.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50OK. Grab his throat.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51BRIAN WHISTLES
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Since filming, all the guinea fowl made a full recovery
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and were released back into the wild.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58OK, let's go.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06The rehab centre not only cares for sick animals,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09it also runs conservation projects.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Cheetahs are an endangered species.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Brian works with the Cheetah Foundation
0:06:15 > 0:06:19to help protect these beautiful creatures.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25The cheetah is the world's fastest land mammal.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Running up to speeds of 120 kilometres per hour,
0:06:30 > 0:06:35it can accelerate from 0 to 103 kilometres in just 3 seconds.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40That's faster than most sports cars.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41In Kruger Park,
0:06:41 > 0:06:46there are only around 200 of these beautiful cats left in the wild.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Unfortunately, local farmers have been shooting cheetahs
0:06:54 > 0:06:57when they've gone after their cattle.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59This is Juba.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02CHEETAH PURRS This is one of two cheetah we've got.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05We were asked by the Cheetah Foundation to raise two cheetah
0:07:05 > 0:07:07because the farmers are shooting them.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10They have shot more than 200 in 2.5 years.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12When a farmer comes and feels the ribs,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15"Wow, he's beautiful. I'll never shoot another one."
0:07:15 > 0:07:17That's why we've got this. We take them to schools,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20we go to farmers' meetings and to the Kruger Park.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Aren't they beautiful? Yes! Come right up, feel these vibrations.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25'When the cheetah was coming,'
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I was actually really nervous.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31'It felt exactly like buffalo's fur.'
0:07:31 > 0:07:34It was absolutely amazing, and it started purring. I got scared,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38'cos I didn't know if he was going to try and jump or anything.'
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Feel him. So the moment he stops purring, get ready to run.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43That means he's happy.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Today has been the best ever.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Now we see the rest of the cat family. It felt so nice
0:07:48 > 0:07:53'actually holding it and touching and feeling its vibrations.'
0:07:53 > 0:07:54While the other half of the group
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- wait for their turn with the cheetah...- It's not right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01..Ella and Caroline have a difference of opinion.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- That it's actually learned tricks. - No, it hasn't learned tricks.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Yeah, but did you see it up there?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Sitting, lying down...- Why don't you just cooperate with them?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14They were either going to shoot it or bring it up like this.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17'When I saw it, it sort of set me off'
0:08:17 > 0:08:19that it had a collar on
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and a harness and a whole lead and...it was like a dog.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's not a dog. It's a cheetah. It's a wild animal.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Ella is not the only one
0:08:27 > 0:08:30who's unimpressed to see a cheetah on a lead.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31I've just seen Ashleigh,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35and she got to go up and get right close to the cheetah and touch it.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37She looked like she couldn't be less bothered.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41She was just standing there, and she did an odd nod. I thought,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44"How could you be like that? It's a cheetah!"
0:08:44 > 0:08:47But Ashleigh is not bored.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50She's actually concerned about the cheetah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Ashleigh went very quiet.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53She didn't take part in anything.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58'The harness on the cheetah upset her.'
0:08:58 > 0:09:02I don't think they fully understand what Brian's work is all about.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Ashleigh has left the group for some alone time,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13and she's struggling with the idea of cheetahs in captivity.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18'I'm not feeling that good or impressed,'
0:09:18 > 0:09:19because...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21they're showing us this cheetah,
0:09:21 > 0:09:26and they're saying "sit" to the cheetah, and it's just...
0:09:26 > 0:09:31It's not cool, almost like we're using their lives
0:09:31 > 0:09:34for our own entertainment.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37They're cheetahs, they're built to run,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41and where can they run to? It's not fair on the cheetahs.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I just... I can't be in a happy state and enjoy the moment
0:09:45 > 0:09:48when they're actually staying in these enclosures.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I just... I don't like it at all.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It just doesn't feel right, you know?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59It's just hard to see that it's in a limited space,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02whereas with Kruger, it's the size of...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05But don't you think that people that come to these places
0:10:05 > 0:10:07can see the cheetah?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It's very important that you educate people, like Brian said,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12that young people realise
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- that one day, they must grow up and protect nature.- Yeah.- OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25The remaining rookies now have their chance to meet the cheetah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27..and we do it accordingly to that.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31For the sake of their little brothers. He's their ambassador now,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34to speak on behalf of the other cheetah in the wild. You understand?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37To tell everybody our plight, "Our habitat is gone."
0:10:37 > 0:10:41'He felt very soft but very wiry at the same time.'
0:10:41 > 0:10:43He was very warm.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47'When I heard him purring, he reminded me very much of my cat.'
0:10:48 > 0:10:52OK. He just wants to get back to the female at the back.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54'I thought it was very good what they do
0:10:54 > 0:10:57'to show the farmers why they shouldn't kill them.'
0:10:57 > 0:10:59It's a really good idea so that people can see
0:10:59 > 0:11:03'that they're amazing animals and there's no point in shooting them.'
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I particularly found this experience fantastic. I mean,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I just touched a cheetah and, phwoar,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12how many people do you know who can say that?
0:11:14 > 0:11:19The cheetah isn't the only animal the rookies get to be hands-on with.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Brian has an orphan that needs bottle-feeding,
0:11:21 > 0:11:25but he's keeping its identity a surprise.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Have you any idea what we're going to feed now? Any guess? What?
0:11:28 > 0:11:33- Um... A cub.- A cub. OK. Anyone else?- A snake?
0:11:33 > 0:11:38A snake. This little guy has got to get milk every four hours.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Now, I'm going to ask you to help me to make the milk mixture.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Put that into the top of it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45You know Caroline, she's really into animals,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48and she's a really caring girl.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52So I think today was actually a really good experience for Caroline.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Pour from here now into there.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It was very exciting being there,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57making something,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01'like food for some animals or some creature.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03'So it was exciting. I enjoyed it.'
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It would have to be a really big animal
0:12:06 > 0:12:08to drink all that milk, wouldn't it?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11The group are excited about feeding the mystery animal.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Ashleigh is still unhappy about seeing animals in enclosures.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Today, Ashleigh and Ella have had a bit of a problem
0:12:17 > 0:12:22with the animals being in cages, but I think it's a really good idea,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25'because it teaches more kids and adults about education.'
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It's a big part of a child's life to learn more about animals.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Just remember, don't touch the teats with your hands
0:12:31 > 0:12:32cos of the germs, you see?
0:12:32 > 0:12:37They're eager to find out what animal they'll be bottle-feeding,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40as they still have no idea.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47SQUEALING
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- All right, my sweeties. What is this?- A rhino.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54A rhino. And who's giving the first milk?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57You. Come on.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Here. Here you are.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I would give anything to work with animals
0:13:03 > 0:13:05'as close as I am now when I'm older.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08'It would just be one of these dream-come-true things.'
0:13:08 > 0:13:13This baby rhino is only five months old, and she's called Ntombi,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16which means "girl" in Zulu.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Assist the bottle...
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Sadly, the calf's mother was killed in a fight with another rhino.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Rudi and Frankie were part of the team that rescued the orphan
0:13:27 > 0:13:30to bring her here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Let's go, let's go!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35'I've never done anything like this.'
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I got quite emotional when I was stroking it,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42'cos it's just the most incredible animal.'
0:13:43 > 0:13:47She drinks a whopping 18 litres of milk every day.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Cute, eh?- She's so cute.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51What's the percentage of the animals
0:13:51 > 0:13:54that get released back into the wild?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56We've done thousands.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58For example, I've done over 400 hyraxes, rock rabbits.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03I've done 170 servals. I've done over 30 leopards.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I've done quite a few spotted hyenas. I've done cheetah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09We've done quite a lot back to the wild.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Brian's answer has made Ashleigh feel more positive.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15'We've been living in the Kruger,'
0:14:15 > 0:14:18we've been seeing all these wild animals roaming and free.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I think I got a bit of a shock when I saw them in the cages.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25'Right now, I'm feeling a bit better than I did before,'
0:14:25 > 0:14:28because they told us that the animals...
0:14:28 > 0:14:30A lot of them go back into the wild and...
0:14:30 > 0:14:34'I kind of understand what they mean by'
0:14:34 > 0:14:38when they're taming the cheetahs to show farmers and educate people.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44So I'm glad for the rehabilitation centre and what they do,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48and I just hope that more people can see
0:14:48 > 0:14:53what's happening to these animals and just get the bigger picture.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Still to come - the rookie rangers witness a feeding frenzy.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03You should see, they're fighting over the meat in their mouths.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05And the mentors get tough.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Can I be honest with you? You guys did not work as a team.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13This is truly disgusting.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Before the Safari 8 leave the rehabilitation centre,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Brian has one last job for them.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Now we have another project.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Sadly, we're having hundreds of vultures poisoned.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27We're trying to mark the vultures with tags.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29We're putting satellite harnesses on their back.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33We firstly want to monitor how far these vultures are going.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37We're going to put meat out for the vultures for our research programme.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Every afternoon, the students go with the chart.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43They fill in the date, time, the type of vulture we're seeing,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46the tag number and comments - bad condition or good condition.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Would you be keen to do this for me? ALL: Yeah.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52This is some of the meat we're going to put, this is all beef.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- We buy this from the abattoirs. - The smell was really strong.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Should I help lift it on as well?
0:15:58 > 0:16:04'It really smelt this...strong stench. It was like,'
0:16:04 > 0:16:06like dead zombies or something had woken up
0:16:06 > 0:16:10'and just...were everywhere and stuff.'
0:16:10 > 0:16:11OK.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17The number of vultures in the area is falling
0:16:17 > 0:16:21because they're scavengers that will eat any carcass they can find,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24even if it's poisoned.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Come on, off-load, off-load.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Put that one on the right, my sweeties.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33The rookie rangers lay down the meat and await the hungry vultures.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42Within seconds, flocks of vultures swoop down to tuck in.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I've never seen anything like that.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Look at them coming in. Look at them at the top. Look at the top.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53SIFISO LAUGHS
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Look at them all, there's like a hundred of them.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05The vultures are soon joined by hungry warthogs and storks.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10You should see, they're fighting over the meat in their mouths,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13like the ones eating and almost swallowed, and then...
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Look, it's like a rugby scrum.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30- There is one with a tag there. - You must see the tag number.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Why exactly have the vultures been tagged?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36To watch the vultures, see where they're going.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39They've got transmitters so they can track them
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and see how far they go. They go all over Africa,
0:17:42 > 0:17:46and we need to do research on them to save the species.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Caroline? A02.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51A white-backed vulture.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- A063, also white-backed vulture.- OK.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Guys, can you see now how the vultures come in
0:18:00 > 0:18:03as soon as they see a carcass? They're the cleaners of the park.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06They see for miles away and look at each other when they go down.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10They're still coming down. These ones that are coming down now
0:18:10 > 0:18:14probably come from a far distance away.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Vultures have such incredible eyesight
0:18:16 > 0:18:19that they can see a carcass from six kilometres away.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24These vultures, how long will it take to finish this carcass?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28It's already finished. That's why they're starting to fight now.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- They're very quick. - What are the warthogs doing?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34They're chasing the vultures, because they also want a bit of meat.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38These white-backed vultures and marabou storks
0:18:38 > 0:18:41both have bald heads and necks so they can dig deep into carcasses
0:18:41 > 0:18:44without getting dirty.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49The marabou stork is one of the world's largest flying birds
0:18:49 > 0:18:52with an impressive three-metre wingspan.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I think the Safari 8 kids learned today
0:18:58 > 0:19:00that it's not all about the Big Five and...
0:19:00 > 0:19:04as rangers, you need to get involved in research,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08helping guys doing the research, cos they need a lot of hands.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11We're now doing the stuff that the rangers do and helping the animals.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Now, for the first time, we really feel like we are becoming rangers.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26The Safari 8 are back in Kruger Park.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32In the river bed, Rudi and Frankie are preparing a challenge
0:19:32 > 0:19:33for the rookie rangers.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39They want to test the team on their knowledge of dung,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42as it's one of the best ways to track animals.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45With the final challenge looming,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47it's crucial the rookies impress their mentors.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51You can put them on, and then I need you to listen up.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- FRANKIE LAUGHS:- If that thing bursts now, Tomas...
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Right, so the challenge is...whose poo?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04OK. Do you understand? Whose poo?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07There's ten pictures, nine pieces of poo.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11And you need to allocate the correct poo to the correct animal.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14OK? So you need to look carefully at the pictures,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17you need to communicate to each other... All right?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Because this is a poo challenge,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23the losing team will have the eventful job
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- of cleaning the toilets. - THEY GROAN
0:20:27 > 0:20:31British team, that side. South African team, that side.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Run, run, run!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I really, really, really want to win this one.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's our turn, for the first time ever,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41for the British to win against the South Africans.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44We have got to win this because the trip is nearly over,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47so we've really got to pile it on for Britain.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Are you guys ready?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Like they say - ready, steady, go.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Go.- OK, start.- Shush, shush...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55That one's obviously elephant.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Is this elephant, yeah? - That's elephant, yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00This is buffalo.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- This is hyena. - That's hyena. Where's that?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Let's do the easy ones first.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- That might be lion.- Yeah, cos lion has slightly browner...
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- This one's buffalo.- This is buffalo.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Let me tell you something, I saw this near the river.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17This is perfectly round.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19With everyone speaking over each other,
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Sifiso's suggestion is being ignored.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Don't put it there!- That's impala.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Impala is bigger than that. - OK, if you say so.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- This is kudu poo.- That's what I said!- That's not kudu poo.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Everyone's talking, but no-one is listening.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- I think it's actually monkey. - It's fruit.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Are we allowed to open it up?- No.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44No, it can't be from her, because they have small bums.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- OK, it's not a lion, and it's not this. It's that.- It's that, yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Hippos eat algae and fish, don't they?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52No, hippos are herbivores.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Stop the clock.- OK. Got it?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Your time is stopped.- Move away so I can mark your table.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06The Safari 8 wait for Rudi and Frankie to score each team.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Will the UK finally come through victorious?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Or will they be defeated for the third time?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- How do you think you've done? - Bad.- OK.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21We got the impala poo wrong.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Kushal?- All right?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'm really really disappointed in you
0:22:29 > 0:22:33for not working as a team, especially putting dung on a picture
0:22:33 > 0:22:35and letting go before everybody had
0:22:35 > 0:22:38a consensus about where the dung should go.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Kushal, you really took over. You talked everybody to death,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46which I think is not appropriate. I said to you guys at the table,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49"Listen to each other and talk as a team
0:22:49 > 0:22:51"and then decide where the poo must go."
0:22:51 > 0:22:52And you didn't do that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57So, South Africa, how do you think you did?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I think we worked as a team,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02and we all had our input, and before we put it down,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05we double-checked and made sure that everyone had their say.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09The South African team seem pretty pleased with themselves.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11But what does Frankie think?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Can I be honest with you? You guys did not work as a team.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Ashleigh, you took over.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Sifiso actually made a suggestion on one thing.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24You overrode his suggestion, and his suggestion was actually quite right.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27If this is how you think you'll lead the final challenge,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I've got a different story for you.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32You need to start acting as rookie rangers
0:23:32 > 0:23:36and start working as a team.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Even though the team work was lacking, I'm very surprised
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and happy to announce that you got a smashing six out of nine.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49To my team...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55You did really well.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- You got seven out of nine. - Yes! In your face!
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- THEY CHEER - You're cleaning the bathrooms.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Ha-ha-ha!
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- This is the first time you won. - All right, guys...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13As the losing team, you know what to do.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16So grab your implements and move back up to the top.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I want to see my face in that toilet seat.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Quick number two before?- For my team, some nice sunset photographs.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Thank you.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Here you go.- Aww...
0:24:32 > 0:24:35ALL: Cheers!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Well done, guys. Enjoy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Everything clean, the mirror... - Let's go.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42How did that happen?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Clean on top there. - Even on the top?- Everything clean.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48This toilet must be sparkling when you guys leave.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Oh, good.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Put the brush in there and rub all the stuff out.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56There's ants! It's just ants.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58All clean!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03This is the taste of success, guys. Well done.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06We won, and that's all that matters.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I've never cleaned a toilet before.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I wouldn't want to clean a toilet.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13I don't know who would.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16We could have been cleaning the toilets right now.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I'm happy were not. They stink.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Put this in!- Wait, Ashleigh. - It's got to go down with it.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You've got to check first if it's clean before you put it in.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28There goes the teamwork out of the window again.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Our toilet is infested with ants.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Ashleigh, that toilet is not clean yet.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I can see from where I'm standing that it's not clean yet.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37And I'm not even at the bowl.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42Ashleigh might not admit it, but she always wants to be a leader.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44We should try to work as a team.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48We've got to turn this thing into positives.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Come on, girls!- Let's just go.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53The Brits head over to the toilets,
0:25:53 > 0:25:54as they can't resist checking up
0:25:54 > 0:25:57on the South Africans' cleaning efforts.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02- What's worse? The girls' or the boys'?- Do you want to taste this?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04It's not long
0:26:04 > 0:26:07before tensions between Ashleigh and Tomas start to show.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Oh Ashleigh, you stupid mess!
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Move.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Please borrow me this.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Do you want to move? - Please borrow me this.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Do you want to clean the toilets?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Cos I don't mind going to have some juice.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22That's not fair!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25While the rangers are busy with the rest of the team,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27things flare up again.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Calm down!
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Ow! You actually...- Yeah, but that's cos you did it to me.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39You blooming hurt my gum. I'm sorry, Ashleigh, but...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Ashleigh and Tomas have had time
0:26:44 > 0:26:48to calm down and reflect on their fall out.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Now they've cooled off, Tomas wants to speak to Ashleigh.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Well, I'm sorry because I think we were all agitated,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58'and the Brits were bragging
0:26:58 > 0:27:02'because it's our first win against the South Africans.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04'We were all really hyped up.'
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I'm sorry for being angry.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Thank you for coming to me and apologising.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I think that's really considered of you.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I'm sorry too for messing up your mug.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Let's be friends.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I think it shows a lot of team spirit.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24They push each other to a certain limit,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26and I think they've reached that point.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Now they know how far they can go.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30That'll be good for the final challenge.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34It is going to be tough for them, and they need to stand together.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Next time on Safari 8,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41the rookies learn a hard lesson about tracking leopards.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44If we hear talking, we're just going to leave.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45I don't even want to hear a whisper.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47There's chaos in the kitchen...
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Just chuck it in the bin and start again.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52And are the team cracking under the pressure?
0:27:52 > 0:27:56I've mucked up on the baboon cos I went off the baboon too early.
