0:00:02 > 0:00:04Whoo!
0:00:04 > 0:00:07In the heart of Africa, a young family is heading
0:00:07 > 0:00:09for an epic adventure.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12They are moving with their three children
0:00:12 > 0:00:14to a remote Kenyan wilderness.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Mum, Saba, is here to run a safari camp...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Welcome.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24..while dad, Frank, is helping to protect elephants.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Collar's almost on, now the scary bit.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28ELEPHANT BELLOWS
0:00:28 > 0:00:32But raising a family and running a business in the bush
0:00:32 > 0:00:34is going to be a massive challenge.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Shoo!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38There are monkeys in the kitchen...
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Oh, you monkeys! I'm going to kill you!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42..floods threatening the camp...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44It's looking like it's going to be a megastorm.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46..medical emergencies...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48It's bad, and it needs urgent action.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50..and wildlife in need of help.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52There is an elephant down.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It's going to be a huge gamble.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Will the business survive Saba's first season in charge?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Oh, my God.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06This time, camp reopens after the rainy season.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I just feel like everything's kicking off, and it's quite exciting.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Guests are on their way...
0:01:11 > 0:01:13You can't bring the guests here until we're done.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15..but camp's falling apart.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Oh!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The main idea here is to keep the stress down.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Frank is also under pressure.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26He's got an elephant with a problem...
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We've not lost one yet, but we don't want to start now.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31..and the situation becomes critical.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Now my heart really is in my mouth.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Elephant Watch camp has been closed for a month
0:01:53 > 0:01:55because of the rainy season.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02But in just one week, they'll reopen for guests
0:02:02 > 0:02:05and camp has to be rebuilt from scratch.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12The family's new life depends on the business running successfully.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Guests come here for a luxury experience,
0:02:15 > 0:02:20but the wet weather in northern Kenya has taken its toll.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I've been taking all the tents down to get them fixed
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and sew up all the... Get all the zips redone
0:02:26 > 0:02:32and replace all the netting, which has been...needed doing for ages.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37It takes a day for a team of five to get a single tent up and ready.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41THEY CONVERSE IN AFRICAN LANGUAGE
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK, fine, fine, fine. You're right, I'm wrong.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46PHONE RINGS LIKE CRICKET
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Hello?
0:02:48 > 0:02:53They're counting on having seven days to get everything done.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56And I just get a call saying not only do
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I have one guest arriving into this room in half an hour,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02but supposedly I have another four pitching up
0:03:02 > 0:03:03at five o'clock this evening.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08If the business is going to succeed,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Saba can't afford to turn guests away.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14But saying yes could backfire
0:03:14 > 0:03:17if they can't get the camp ready in time.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20So, I'm in a bit of a panic.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And it's not just the tents that are worrying her.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Sim. Now, listen, we've got a supplies problem.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I just don't think we've got enough cos they want to come for two nights.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Hi, Eleanor. Hi.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35OK, look, if these four people are arriving, then we've got
0:03:35 > 0:03:38a serious problem. We don't have anything in camp at the moment.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Saba's facing every host's worst nightmare.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Vital supplies are missing,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and right now she has nowhere for her guests to sleep.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- You call them, I'm going to number five, OK?- OK.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00The first visitor arrives in just half an hour.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I need all hands on deck pretty fast if we're going to get this done.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Oh, my God! What am I going to do?!
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Saba's husband, Frank, is also feeling the pressure.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18He works for a conservation charity, Save The Elephants.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Today, he's tranquillising an elephant to fit a tracking collar.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27It's a risky procedure and Frank is in charge of logistics.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31The collaring we're going to be doing today is of a bull
0:04:31 > 0:04:34called Edison, who we've been wanting to get for a long time
0:04:34 > 0:04:37cos he's, er... He's an old friend of ours,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39a family friend, you could say,
0:04:39 > 0:04:44and he was just being kicked out of his family
0:04:44 > 0:04:47when this project started 17 years ago.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53So, he's a very interesting bull for us
0:04:53 > 0:04:56to get to know in terms of his movements.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Male elephants leave the family unit as they reach sexual maturity,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05around the age of 12.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14They cover huge distances in search of food and females.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Radio collaring them is invaluable in understanding their movements,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and keeping them safe.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27We're at a time now where the price of ivory is at an all-time high.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32That means that the incentive to poach is that much increased
0:05:32 > 0:05:36and we're seeing it across the continent.
0:05:36 > 0:05:43Between 2010 and 2012, in those three years, 2010, 2011, 2012,
0:05:43 > 0:05:49Africa lost over 100,000 elephants, just in those three years.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52We don't really know how many elephants there are in Africa
0:05:52 > 0:05:54and that's part of the problem, but estimates are between
0:05:54 > 0:05:56400,000 and 600,000,
0:05:56 > 0:06:01so to lose 100,000 in three years is just an astonishing rate
0:06:01 > 0:06:08of decline, and it just makes this whole situation so urgent.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Samburu National Reserve was once a safe haven for elephants.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28But now a single pair of tusks could fetch over 100,000.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33With ivory prices so high, armed poachers are prepared to
0:06:33 > 0:06:35enter protected areas.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Only last week, Koitelel,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46a well-loved bull elephant, was lost to poachers.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Frank's determined that no more elephants will die
0:06:53 > 0:06:55within the reserve this year.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01He's arrived at the elephant research centre to brief
0:07:01 > 0:07:04the collaring team on the logistics for today.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Ah, morning!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Tranquillising an elephant is risky
0:07:09 > 0:07:11and Frank needs all the help he can get.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Morning, guys.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Chief scientist George Wittemyer has collared many elephants before.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It's a huge responsibility.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Mistakes in this business can be fatal.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Just a few miles upriver, Saba's first guest has arrived.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Hello?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46I'm in number one,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and you can't bring the guest here until we're done.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Can you look after her?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52OK, just give her drinks, make sure she's happy,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55tell her I'm just out and I'm coming in, in a second.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57OK. Bye.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58She's arrived. Ooh!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Camp manager Simeon is Saba's right-hand man
0:08:03 > 0:08:06and he's on his way to welcome the new guest.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09We are looking forward to meet her and it's exciting
0:08:09 > 0:08:14because we've been working really hard to get the camp ready.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19In fact, they're still working hard.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Racing to finish the flooring...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and cleaning the bathroom.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Hello, Lisa. I'm so sorry I'm late.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Oh, no worries.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Good to meet you. Welcome to Elephant Watch.- Great to meet you, too.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Saba keeps Lisa talking just long enough
0:08:38 > 0:08:41for the team to finish the room.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49So, come in. So, this is your tent.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54I'll show you round the front bit first. This is your bathroom.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56You come and you have your bush shower.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58All the water's heated by the sun.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- And here's your loo. It's just a normal flush loo.- OK.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05And if you need anything, you've got a gown there to dress up in,
0:09:05 > 0:09:06you can come to dinner in that
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- if you like, or breakfast, or whatever you feel like.- Wow, OK.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12And if you need anything, just... I'm always around so just let me know.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- OK. See you later.- Bye-bye.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Got that done in the nick of time.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21She seems very happy, which is good.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24That's one guest settled.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29But there are still two more luxury rooms to create from scratch,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32with just five hours before the next group arrives.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I think it's a help actually.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Out in the reserve, Frank and the team are on their way to Edison,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48the bull they want to fit with a tracking collar.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Like humans, every elephant responds differently to anaesthetic,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57so the team must be on their toes.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58It's going to be tense.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Collaring a bull is a different story from collaring a female.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05We don't have the family to worry about, but they're a lot bigger,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08a lot stronger, and, erm...
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Yeah, they can be a bit more alarming,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15and sometimes they can have a bit more difficulty
0:10:15 > 0:10:17getting up afterwards.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20So, yeah, we've not lost one yet,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22but we don't want to start now.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25But it's a risk worth taking.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Bull elephants range far beyond the safety of the reserve.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Finding out where they go and why is crucial to help protect them.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Their larger tusks also make them a valuable target for poachers...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49so keeping tabs on Edison is important.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's Frank's job to make sure everyone is safe.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Everybody's got to stay in their cars until explicitly told
0:10:59 > 0:11:03otherwise, OK? And everyone's got to be as quiet as possible.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06The main idea here is to keep the stress down,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09because the quieter we can be and the more
0:11:09 > 0:11:14we can let the elephant be relaxed when the dart goes in, the better.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16OK, he's actually coming out of the bush now,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19so let's everyone just slowly get into the cars.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21We dart from here if we get a chance?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24We dart from here if we get a chance.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28The team gets into position to administer the tranquilliser dart.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32OK, we will tell you, we're going to go up and...
0:11:40 > 0:11:42TRANQUILLISER FIRES
0:11:45 > 0:11:49They will have to wait eight minutes for the sedative to take effect.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Until it does, Edison's reaction could be unpredictable.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02But there's an unexpected complication.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Hey, Geronimo, there's some kids up above in the luga near the road.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- ON RADIO:- OK, shall I chase them away?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Yeah, get those, there's some little kids.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- There's, like, three of them, just get them out of there.- OK, copy.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Some Samburu children and their goats
0:12:17 > 0:12:20have walked straight into Edison's path.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22A dangerous place to be.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Certainly not something you expect inside a national park,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28to have kids running around with their goats.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Yeah, it's just one of those extra variables that you don't think of.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35This could upset the confused elephant.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42He looks pretty calm, but there's a risk that if he saw kids on foot
0:12:42 > 0:12:44he might go for them.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47As soon as they saw the ranger, they just fled
0:12:47 > 0:12:49cos they thought they were in trouble.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It looks like the goats are going another way,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55so that's hopefully that variable out the way.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Edison's getting quite woozy.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Six minutes.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12The sedative is taking effect.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16There he goes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Just need to hope that he goes down on his side.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22He's gone, he's gone.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Too much tranquilliser in his system is dangerous,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32so they've given him as little as possible.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35They only have 20 minutes to fit the collar.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Back at camp, Saba and the team only have a few hours
0:13:47 > 0:13:49to get the two tents up to scratch.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We'll just see how this goes.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Roger, OK, that's all right for now. SHE SPEAKS AFRICAN LANGUAGE
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Last minute or not,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01the guest accommodation must be absolutely perfect.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Simeon, it's got to go literally, like,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08two inches that side, straight that way.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Towards you. Stop. You got it!
0:14:11 > 0:14:16At the luxury end of the safari market, the devil is in the detail.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18They think I'm ridiculous because I'm so finickety
0:14:18 > 0:14:20about where everything is placed...
0:14:20 > 0:14:22SHE SPEAKS AFRICAN LANGUAGE
0:14:23 > 0:14:25..and they just think I'm insane.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26SPEAKS AGAIN
0:14:28 > 0:14:30There we go.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33That's fine.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37With Saba so busy, it's lucky she has reinforcements to hand.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Her three daughters are entertaining Lisa, the new guest...
0:14:45 > 0:14:47as only children can.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49SHE SPEAKS AFRICAN LANGUAGE
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I think you're speaking Swahili to me!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I know you have no idea that I have no idea what you're saying.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02LAUGHTER
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Meanwhile, there's a problem in one of the tents.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Oh, my God, has this broken?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Yeah.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13The sink in the bathroom is falling apart.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Can we take it out and make it look nice
0:15:17 > 0:15:19or is it going to look like a disaster?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- It's a disaster?- Yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Oh!
0:15:28 > 0:15:32When we built this camp, the whole idea was to build it sort of
0:15:32 > 0:15:35under and around the trees so that you just got this feeling that
0:15:35 > 0:15:40you were sort of a little animal living under this amazing canopy.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43The downside is that everything moves and grows and changes.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47The branch is getting bigger and bigger, and heavier and heavier,
0:15:47 > 0:15:51the whole table is fixed onto it, so it's just broken
0:15:51 > 0:15:56this entire basin and I've got guests coming in about four hours.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03How this could happen today of all days...
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Thankfully, this bathroom has two sinks,
0:16:09 > 0:16:14so Saba just needs to clean up the mess and fill the gap.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I think right now I'm sort of plastering over the cracks
0:16:16 > 0:16:20and when everybody leaves, then we'll just go and do it properly.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23But, today, it's just got to be done and look good quickly.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34With time running out, a trusty chair will have to do the job.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40But there's no time to sit around.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44The rooms aren't ready, and the supply car still hasn't arrived.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49They had a bit of a breakdown and so they're a bit late.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52But there's no loo paper, no tissues, you know,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54there's a lot of things we don't have right now.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57We'll be scurrying around into all their rooms
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- putting everything into place. - Mummy, look.- What happened?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Only a few minutes from camp,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Frank and the team are fitting Edison's tracking collar.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12So, this is a new type of collar that we're trialling.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It's a little bit easier to put on than the other ones
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and instead of having a big lead weight at the bottom,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21all the brains are down in the weight as well.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26It may look big, but for an elephant it's just like wearing a watch.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30The collar's on.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Now it's time to wake Edison up.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So, we're just going to jump back in the car.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47That was... After 16 minutes, the antidote's just gone in so let's
0:17:47 > 0:17:51wait and see how long it takes him to wake up, and hopefully he does.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58The antidote counteracts the effects of the tranquilliser.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59All going to plan,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Edison should be back on his feet within a couple of minutes.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10But he's not.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23This is when everything stops and everything gets quiet,
0:18:23 > 0:18:28and the second hand seems to go round the watch a bit slower...
0:18:30 > 0:18:31..and you wait for him to get up.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35The first sign we'll be looking for is his ear twitching.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45It's normally just a couple of minutes, isn't it?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51He's been down too long and they're worried.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Vet Matthew Mutinda administers another shot of antidote.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Now my heart really is in my mouth.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Have you seen this before, George?
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Er, yeah.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37I don't like this at all.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52He's took his time.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Oh, thank God.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Ah, that's a big relief.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10He's paying a lot of attention to it. He's sniffing it, thinking,
0:20:10 > 0:20:14"What the hell is this thing? Why am I wearing a necklace suddenly?"
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I've only done about ten of them, but every elephant that
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I have been involved in collaring leaves you with a special
0:20:24 > 0:20:28attachment to that elephant, so when you follow them on the tracking
0:20:28 > 0:20:34system, you know what they're like and you feel a connection,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37and certainly when you see them, you're very...
0:20:37 > 0:20:40It's like seeing an old friend again.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43So I'll always have a feeling for Edison now.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Frank and the team have successfully collared an important bull elephant.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Edison will now provide them
0:20:58 > 0:21:03with crucial data as he moves through the reserve and beyond.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Back at camp, Saba's team has also succeeded.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22The tents are finished in the nick of time.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I just feel like everything's kicking off, and it's quite exciting.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33We've worked so hard to get the camp ready today.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39The only thing still missing are the supplies,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43but for now the most important job is to make the guests feel welcome.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- LAUGHTER - You liked that, didn't you?- I did.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Hi, everyone.- Hi.- Hello!
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Have you had a good day?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Welcome. Here's our team in the dark...
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Hi, everyone!- ..but some of the team are here to welcome you. - Sorry we're so late.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Are you all ready for your showers and everything?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Have you ordered them? - We were going to eat now.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Oh, you want to eat? - And then go shower after.- OK.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08The guests are settled, but Saba still has a long night ahead,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12not least because she's mum to three children.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Just want to go and check on the kids quickly.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I had to do everything in such a scramble,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I didn't get a chance to say goodnight to them.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Hi, sausage.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Thank you. I've come to say goodnight to my little girls.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Can I have a hug, please, from my beautiful girls?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Where's jungle baby?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Where's your baby? I don't know, darling, where did you put your baby?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Did you leave it behind?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- No.- Hm?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49But just as it seems everything's under control...
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Did that light just go out?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Oh... Is that the generator's gone off?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Without the generator, there's no electricity in camp.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Who switched it off?- Me.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Erm...
0:23:19 > 0:23:21SHE SIGHS
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I just thought everything was going so well today,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30and we'd finally cracked it all, and then this happens.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32And, of course, the supplies haven't arrived yet either.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Do you know that nobody's got loo paper in their rooms?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I've got, like, half a roll in number two
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and there's nothing in number one and nothing in number five.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44OK, so they're getting here.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45GENERATOR WHIRS
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Luckily, they get it back up and running.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I don't know what the hell is wrong with that machine.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53HARSH WHIRRING Oh, my God, that doesn't sound good.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Despite the racket, camp has power again.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'm just going to get the guests at the dinner table
0:23:59 > 0:24:02and make sure that everything calms down,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06and I just hope that we're not going to lose power.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17Order is restored and, at last, the supplies arrive.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20For Simeon, one crucial thing is still missing.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41On the face of it, everything is going well.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- This is delicious. - Yeah, it's lovely.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30It's been a hectic day and everyone could do with a good night's sleep.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Saba and Frank have had a restless night.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Oh, God, looks who's back.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50You noisy, noisy boy!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I can't believe you kept us up all night.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Sarara is a big male who regularly passes through camp.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03He's been tempted in by his favourite midnight snack -
0:26:03 > 0:26:08juicy acacia pods from the tree right outside their bedroom.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12I mean, look at this. This is the festivities of the night.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Everything that's been going on.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22When they first started coming around, Frank and I were just like,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24"Whoo-hoo, this is so exciting,"
0:26:24 > 0:26:28and now it's just been almost every night and we're exhausted!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And last night I managed to find some earplugs, but even with
0:26:31 > 0:26:36earplugs stuffed into our ears, there were branches falling on the roof
0:26:36 > 0:26:42and he was shaking it, and rumbling and farting and, ugh, so noisy!
0:26:45 > 0:26:49He keeps us awake, but on the other side it's really nice
0:26:49 > 0:26:52that they trust us enough to be able to come here
0:26:52 > 0:26:56and feel safe, considering what's happening elsewhere in their range.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I don't think the guests will mind, but luckily for them
0:27:02 > 0:27:05they don't have quite as close an experience because they've
0:27:05 > 0:27:09got these nice big verandas that keep the elephants at bay.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13His antics in camp may have kept the family up all night,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17but Saba's delighted when he sticks around to give her guests
0:27:17 > 0:27:21a very special elephant encounter...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23right over the breakfast table.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28This is really what this place is all about.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32You know, there's no boundaries, no fences between us and nature,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35and you get things like this happening, it's just magic!
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Saba hopes that if people see elephants up close like this,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44they'll want to help protect them.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55These unique experiences are key to the success of the business,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and to securing a future with elephants.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Next time...
0:28:06 > 0:28:09A member of the team is taken dangerously ill...
0:28:11 > 0:28:15I mean, the thing is, if you don't treat malaria, it can kill you.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18..Frank rushes to the rescue of an injured lioness...
0:28:18 > 0:28:20It's not looking very good.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23..and a power failure in camp leads to big trouble.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's going to be a big investment.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Ugh.
