0:00:04 > 0:00:05In the heart of Africa,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08a young family is heading for an epic adventure.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12They are moving with their three children
0:00:12 > 0:00:13to a remote Kenyan wilderness.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Mum Saba is here to run a safari camp...
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Welcome!
0:00:20 > 0:00:25..while dad Frank is helping to protect elephants...
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Collar's almost on. Now the scary bit.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31..but raising a family and running a business in the bush
0:00:31 > 0:00:34is going to be a massive challenge.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37There are monkeys in the kitchen...
0:00:37 > 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 mega storm.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46..and wildlife in need of help.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Now my heart really is in my mouth.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50It's going to be a huge gamble.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Will the business survive Saba's first season in charge?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Oh, my God.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01This time, a power crisis strikes camp.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I'm just having such problems with this.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06It's driving me absolutely crazy.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08With the start of high season, it's a disaster.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Saba's pulled away to a medical emergency...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It's bad and it needs urgent action.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21..and Frank is called out to help an injured lioness.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Could be a snake bite,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26she could have been hit by a car,
0:01:26 > 0:01:27but we just don't know.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It's six in the morning and Saba is already out
0:01:44 > 0:01:47searching for lions to show her guests.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51They come here for top-notch safaris,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55so she must make sure she knows where to find every animal.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Lions in Samburu are mostly nocturnal,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04so the key thing is to get up hellishly early in the morning
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and get out to wherever you think they are at first light.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Top of her wish list - young cubs.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18To have new cubs, you know, the first cubs in quite a long time,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20is just so exciting.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I can't quite believe it.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26She's looking for pawprints along the road
0:02:26 > 0:02:30so she can track them down as soon as the sun rises.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34This is real lion habitat here. They love this saltbrush.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36They could be anywhere here.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39It's extremely difficult to find them
0:02:39 > 0:02:42if you don't find their tracks in the morning.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Staying one step ahead of the animals is essential
0:02:45 > 0:02:47because this is the busiest week of the season.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01Elephant Watch Camp has room for 12 guests in six luxury tents.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03With camp running at full capacity,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05they can't afford anything to go wrong.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Wildlife guide Bernard is off
0:03:09 > 0:03:11to pick up the first of the new arrivals.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I'm so excited to meet new people every time
0:03:15 > 0:03:20because it gives me an opportunity to show them what we have here.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24This season, this is the first time we're having a full camp.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28It's going to be a very intense period.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32So far this season, guest bookings have been down.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33For the business to succeed,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37the team must make sure everything runs like clockwork.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Saba is still searching for lions.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Look! There! There, there, there, there! There's the lioness.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53So exciting!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Those two cubs are tiny still.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08They're probably about six, seven weeks old.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13(So wonderful.)
0:04:20 > 0:04:24The reserve is home to 40 lions living in three separate prides.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33The Koitogor Pride is the largest and they are all known by name.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39The oldest female is called Nabo.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44She has two five-year-old daughters.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Now she's a grandmother
0:04:49 > 0:04:52and the Koitogor Pride has a third generation.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03It's one of Nabo's daughters who has given birth to these young cubs.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06These little guys are the grandchildren of the first
0:05:06 > 0:05:08lioness that I ever got to know, here in Samburu.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10She's now a really old female,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13who's called Nabo, which means "one" in Samburu,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17because she used to have one block black spot on her nose.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Yeah, and she's still very much an important presence in this pride,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25and sticks around the central area of Samburu.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29In fact, she will definitely be having some contact with these cubs.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32It's exactly what Saba had hoped for.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36The reserve's newest arrivals are just in time for high season.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41This is absolutely wonderful because, when our guests arrive,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44this is one of the best things that we can come out and show them.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Oh! They are so sweet.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53With the cubs found, she returns to greet her guests.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Back at camp, the team is ready and waiting.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Hello, I'm Saba.- I'm Shamila.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Nice to meet you.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Just when it seems everything is under control, there's bad news.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Oh, God. Look at this. Nothing's freezing.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33We've got serious problems with our solar system right now.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35And, look, you see, none of the ice is freezing.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37This has been here all night and it still hasn't frozen.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I just don't know where the problem is.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I don't know if we've got a short somewhere, or if it's the batteries,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45or if it's the solar panels or what.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50The camp is designed to run on solar energy,
0:06:50 > 0:06:55but the ageing system is no longer powerful enough to run the freezers.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Most of the time, the guests haven't got a clue of what is going on
0:06:58 > 0:07:00and that's exactly how it should be.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02But I just need to make sure that they have the
0:07:02 > 0:07:05experience of a lifetime when they come here
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and they don't know about any of my issues behind-the-scenes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10But it has not come as a great time
0:07:10 > 0:07:12because I've got so many people on camp.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Saba needs to do everything she can to get the power
0:07:17 > 0:07:20back on before her clients notice.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Across the reserve, at the Save The Elephants headquarters,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Saba's husband Frank has received worrying news.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42There's a wounded lion out in the park.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's about 20 minutes downriver, so I'm just going to go out
0:07:45 > 0:07:49and have a look at it, and see if there's anything we can do.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52The reserve's lion research team are away
0:07:52 > 0:07:54and Frank is closest to the scene.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57There's a few different possibilities of what could
0:07:57 > 0:07:59have happened to this lioness.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01It could be a snake bite,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04she could have been hit by a car, but we just don't know.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08So, we're just going to have a look before we start making any guesses.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Back at camp, the guests have no idea there's a power problem.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Saba has managed to get hold of energy expert Bart Fugers.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- So, come, let me show you the solar panels.- Yep.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Luckily, Bart was working at a nearby lodge,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32so he's dropped everything to come and help.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- So, these are our panels up here. - Yep.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38We never get through the night so, in the evenings,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41we're having to put the generator on from six o'clock,
0:08:41 > 0:08:46and even with that, by five o'clock in the morning, all the power's gone.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's not just the freezers Saba's worried about.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52There's not enough power to charge the guests' cameras and phones.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55The system needs a scale-up.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57The solar panels, which need replacement,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00it's going to be a big investment.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It's not going to be a quick fix.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07At the start of high season, this is the last thing Saba needs.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The whole camp relies on solar power.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Everything from, you know, all the lights and the fridges
0:09:12 > 0:09:14and the freezers - absolutely everything.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Because we're so remote here, we can't get onto the mains
0:09:16 > 0:09:18and, you know, we're an eco-camp.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21We don't believe in having some huge great generator
0:09:21 > 0:09:24with a whole lot of disgusting fumes coming out of it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27But the problem is our system is quite old now
0:09:27 > 0:09:30and it's in urgent need of an upgrade,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and I'm really, really struggling to get enough power.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39But her problems are about to get even worse.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40A member of camp is ill.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I've got a sick person here. Let me come back.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I just have to go and deal with this. Let me find out what's going on.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Latoya. Malaria?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I think I might have to take him to the clinic, right now.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Yup.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06MAN SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I just have to take this guy to the clinic.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17Are you OK getting on with everything here on your own? OK.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK, I'm coming right now.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22All right. Bye.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24If somebody gets sick out here,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27they'll sit at home and they'll deal with it
0:10:27 > 0:10:29until it gets really bad,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31so by the time to me and they need to go to a clinic,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34it's bad and it needs urgent action.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38So, I mean, the thing is, if you don't treat malaria, it can kill you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Latoya must be tested while he still has a fever,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45but it's 20 minutes to the closest clinic.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Frank is dealing with his own emergency.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53He's found the injured lioness.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58She's lying under a tree.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03And...I've stayed a little distance away,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05but it's not looking very good.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09It doesn't look like she's breathing.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I can't see any movement at all.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Frank has alerted the park rangers and he's updating
0:11:17 > 0:11:20the reserve's lion expert Shivani Bhalla,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23who has studied these lions for 12 years.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Hi, Shiv?- 'Yeah?'
0:11:25 > 0:11:28We've just arrived and she seems to have stopped breathing.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It doesn't look good at all.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42They are too late to help.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Oh, what a tragedy.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48You know, there are so few lions left.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53And whatever killed this one...
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Oh, who knows. We've got to wait and find out
0:11:57 > 0:12:00what killed it before we jump to any conclusions.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Frank wants to find out how she died.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- There's no visible wounds. - No visible.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25So, it may well have been a snake.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27A terrible tragedy right here.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37He calls the lion expert to confirm the identity of the lioness.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40All right. OK. Bye.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- So...yeah, it's Nabo. - Yeah, I think it's Nabo.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51This is the first lioness that Saba identified.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Nabo is the grandmother of the young cubs Saba saw this morning.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Saba's going to be devastated to hear this.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Saba is arriving at the bush clinic with the sick man.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Jambo, jambo.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20She's concerned that Latoya has malaria.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25If he does, it has to be treated quickly.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29So, this has developed overnight because yesterday he was fine.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32The only way you can tell is looking for parasites in the blood.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46No malaria. Why do you think he's having this stomach pain?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Gastric?- Yes.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's a severe tummy bug.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58The doctor's prescribed a course of antibiotics
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and sent Latoya home to rest.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03OK, thank you. Bye.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Back at the research centre,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Frank is preparing to break the news of Nabo's death to Saba.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Without Nabo to watch over them, the family is now much weaker.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Young cubs like these are vulnerable to attack by roving males,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31who will kill any cub that isn't their own.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Nabo's death means there are fewer lionesses to keep the cubs safe.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Hello.- Hey, Sabs, how are you doing?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Hi, baby. OK.- Good.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I've got some bad news, I'm afraid.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56This lion that was injured, it was your lioness.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00It was the lioness you first...
0:15:00 > 0:15:01identified with Shiv.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Nabo?- Nabo.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- She's dead?- She's dead.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- She's dead?! - She's dead. I'm sorry, baby.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Life on this frontier is dangerous,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21even for lions.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25You don't get more fearless than a lioness...
0:15:26 > 0:15:31..and yet she's just gone down,
0:15:31 > 0:15:32perhaps through a snakebite.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Seems like one of the more likely explanations.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37With snakes around,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Frank is worried about the girls.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43It does make you think about Selkie running around here
0:15:43 > 0:15:46and how easy it would be for her to get bitten.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I'm glad we've got the Warriors to stick around the kids.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52They're like a mobile safety fence,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55in that they'll make sure that most of the dangers
0:15:55 > 0:15:56are out of the way.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Samburu warrior Nporian knows all about snakes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04HE SPEAKS
0:16:04 > 0:16:08He wants to teach the girls how to avoid dangers in the bush.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20There are scorpions to watch out for
0:16:20 > 0:16:23and ant lions hiding under your feet.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Warriors grow up bush-wise.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Their survival depends on being able
0:16:32 > 0:16:35to read the signs of animal life around them.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Everything they need can be found here.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47One tree provides a weapon...
0:16:50 > 0:16:52..another provides a toothbrush.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58With Nporian's help, the girls are learning
0:16:58 > 0:17:02how to avoid the dangers all around them...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05..and how to look good in the bush!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It's been a long day.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20For the children it's time for bed,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24but Saba still has guests to take care of.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Well, my job is sort of partly to...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You know, I'm running the camp, so I am keeping all the logistics going.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Then, in the evening, when they come back after their game drives,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38it's my turn to be the hostess.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40So, you know, I make sure they're all OK,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43and we sit down and tell stories,
0:17:43 > 0:17:48and do my best to make them feel very passionate about Samburu.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50OK... Ready to face the music.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Saba's problems are not over yet.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56The solar system is still down
0:17:56 > 0:17:58and the freezers aren't freezing.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Chef Serena is treating the guests to a traditional Samburu dinner.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48The food may be tasty,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52but without electricity the guests are eating by firelight.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Saba hopes the romantic setting
0:18:54 > 0:18:57will distract them from the power shortage.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
0:19:18 > 0:19:21THEY LAUGH
0:19:21 > 0:19:22They've pulled it off,
0:19:22 > 0:19:26but Saba must make sure she gets the power back on soon.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40This morning, the guest's day is starting early.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Hello.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Hello.- Good morning.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Wildlife guide Serenoy has an important mission ahead.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59These guests are from America
0:19:59 > 0:20:01and Saba wants to make sure
0:20:01 > 0:20:04they see the Koitagor lion pride.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09..those two tiny little cubs.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I think they're a bit lion-crazy,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- so it would be really wonderful... - OK.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- ..if you can find them. Yeah? All right. Good luck today.- OK.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Serenoy is heading to the area where Saba saw them.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It's very difficult to find lions right now,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29so, you know, I have a lot of pressure because...
0:20:29 > 0:20:33these clients are crazy about lions and I have to find them.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Samburu's lions live in smaller prides than elsewhere in Africa.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Here the females and their cubs team up,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46while males move between several groups.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Pride-mates can spend months or even years apart,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55so both sexes need to be much more self-reliant.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00This could be why Samburu's males have such patchy manes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05A huge necklace of fur is a handicap in thorny scrub
0:21:05 > 0:21:09and a low profile ensures better hunting.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15So, to see the lions, especially in this environment where there are
0:21:15 > 0:21:18so many who you have worked so hard to see a population of lions
0:21:18 > 0:21:21being restored, it would make it very special.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Guests come here for the wildlife,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28but they also expect luxury.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Saba must make sure the camp lives up to expectations,
0:21:35 > 0:21:40but a power shortage at the start of high season is a big problem.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Good morning, guys.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Good morning.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Luckily, energy expert Bart Fugars
0:21:45 > 0:21:48has returned with new solar panels.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53It's like a new horizon, a new dawn, on the power front.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56What we're doing today is we're boosting our whole system,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59so that the batteries are going to get this major power set.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Slowly, slowly...
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Bernard is on hand to oversee the installation.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08This is not an easy job.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11It's extremely delicate
0:22:11 > 0:22:12because it could collapse,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14then...we're done.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Then we have to depend on the moonlight...
0:22:16 > 0:22:17HE LAUGHS
0:22:17 > 0:22:20..and the stars.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I'll leave you guys to it.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23See you later.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Out in the reserve,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37wildlife guide Serenoy is searching for the lions.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42He's watching the prey animals to see if they've spotted anything.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- FEMALE CLIENT:- They are definitely seeing something.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Giraffes will tell you...
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's only two things -
0:22:49 > 0:22:50either they have seen lion
0:22:50 > 0:22:52or when they see human beings -
0:22:52 > 0:22:54those are things that makes giraffe be watchful.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- Look at them all standing at attention.- Yes.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58- WOMAN WHISPERS:- Maybe it's lions!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Yeah, it may be lions.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Can we go there and see if there are lions there?- Yes. Yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Look, look!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Simba.- My gosh, look.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I've never seen this kind of behaviour before,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20where the lions would stay under the bush
0:23:20 > 0:23:22and the giraffes would gather
0:23:22 > 0:23:24and watch them like that.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- They are really interested in the lions.- They are.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Samburu is quite special.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Serenoy has found several members of Nabo's pride
0:23:35 > 0:23:37and the lone pride male,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40who is normally extremely elusive.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Two miles away, Saba is searching for the rest of the pride.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51She's desperate to find out how
0:23:51 > 0:23:54the young lionesses are managing without Nabo.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Oh, look! There's a lion, darling. Look! Look-look.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Do you see the female there? - Yeah.- That's a lioness.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Isn't that exciting?- Yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10This is where they really, really, really like to come.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16INDISTINCT BABY-TALK
0:24:16 > 0:24:17..see cubs!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- You want to see the cubs?- Yeah.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Well, if we wait here, maybe they'll come.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- And you know who she is?- Nm-nm.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- She's part of their family.- Oh. - She's their auntie.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Look, look, look! She's seen something. Maybe she...
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Look, there's some impala. You see them coming down to the river?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Oh, yeah.- There, in-between.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39She's seen them and she's thinking
0:24:39 > 0:24:41that's exactly where she wants them to go,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44so she can try and catch them. She's coming, she's coming...
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Look, she's trotting towards us.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Now, you see how she's coming up near the edge of the river bank?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Look how she's stalking.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59She's going super-slowly because she doesn't want anything to see her.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01VARIOUS BIRD CALLS
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I'm going to get up ahead a little bit,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10so we can be in the right position.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11BIRDS CALLING
0:25:11 > 0:25:14See the guinea fowl as well? They're all alarming.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17They're telling the other animals that the lion is here.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19They're all making their alarm call.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30She's got it!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Look! Look, look, look!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Saba wants to teach the girls
0:25:35 > 0:25:38about the realities of life and death in the bush.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42She's going to be so tired after this because, you know,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44she's doing this all on her own.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Isn't that amazing?- Yeah.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48For this to happen right in front of us now,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50with the three kids in the car
0:25:50 > 0:25:53when we're least expecting it, is seriously amazing!
0:25:56 > 0:25:58It's great news for Nabo's family.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02This lioness has proved to be a phenomenal hunter,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05able to bring down large prey on her own.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12She's been well-taught by her mother
0:26:12 > 0:26:15and will pass on the same skills to the cubs.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Nabo's grandchildren will be fine.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Back at camp,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30the team is putting the finishing touches to the solar panels.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Saba?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Saba has returned just in time to see Bernard's handiwork.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- It's done.- Are you finished?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- We've finished, yes. - Let's go and have a look, then.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46- OK.- It's done.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47- Oh, great!- Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Oh, my goodness, look at all those lovely green lights.- Yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53That is fantastic.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56So, hopefully, that's our problems over.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58One problem solved in the bush.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Brilliant. Well done.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Thank you so much.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09With the freezers back up and running,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11normal dinner service is resumed.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Fingers crossed, but everything looks like it's working.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17And, for the first time in a very long time,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20I have three functioning cooling units.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It says, "Please leave me alone." Do not disturb!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Quite right.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Ever! Never, never, never.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28THEY LAUGH
0:27:28 > 0:27:31We're paranoid about losing the...the coldness now.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33It's been such a battle.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34I know. But now it's...
0:27:34 > 0:27:35It seems it's working.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37We've now got two fridges -
0:27:37 > 0:27:39one for food and one for drinks,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41so it...couldn't be better.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44And I just hope it lasts.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45All is good.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Hello, everybody.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Are you all OK?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51With power restored, camp is ready to cope
0:27:51 > 0:27:53with the demands of the season ahead...
0:27:54 > 0:27:57..and Saba can get back to her guests.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Next time, high season is in full swing...
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Everything has to be...super!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Super, super, super.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11..but drought forces the main attraction to leave the reserve.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It becomes a bit of a challenge for us because, you know,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15there aren't that many elephants.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The elephants are heading into danger.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Poachers were spotted this morning and they ran from their camp.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Frank's battle to protect them becomes dangerous.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28They're out there.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30They're right on the front line.
