0:00:04 > 0:00:05In the heart of Africa,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07a 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.
0:00:16 > 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.
0:00:28 > 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 mega storm.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46..medical emergencies...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48It's bad and it needs urgent action.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51..and wildlife in need of help.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52My heart really is in my mouth.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54It'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 > 0:01:00Oh, my God.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07This time, the drought is hitting hard and camp is feeling the strain.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09It picks up all the sand from the other bank
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and it just hurls it across straight into your eyes,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14scours off your skin and it becomes unbearable.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17The guests are expecting to see elephants.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20But to find them, Saba's forced to take drastic action.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Ready, girls?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And an orphan elephant urgently needs Frank's help.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32She's just taken off in a straight line towards an area
0:01:32 > 0:01:34which is pretty dangerous for her.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Samburu is in the grip of a severe drought.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04It's transformed the reserve into a scorching dust bowl.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13This morning, Elephant Watch camp is caught in a sandstorm.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I'm just trying to create a bit of a barrier between us and the wind.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Because it's getting to the point where we're getting a huge amount of
0:02:28 > 0:02:31sand just blowing straight in here, and it's really painful on the eyes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35The winds couldn't have come at a worse time.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41It's the middle of the high season,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45and Saba has a camp full of guests arriving today.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50But the sandstorm isn't her only problem.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Her visitors want to see elephants.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's really important that they have a deeply meaningful experience
0:02:59 > 0:03:01with elephants, because this is their big trip
0:03:01 > 0:03:03to come out to Africa to meet the elephants,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06to see what we're doing, and really understand what it's all about.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Seeing elephants is easier said than done.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11They have all left the reserve.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16The severity of the drought has forced wildlife
0:03:16 > 0:03:18to travel in search of food.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22It hasn't rained here for three months,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26and the vegetation has been reduced to a few scrubby bushes.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33The lifeblood of the reserve, the Ewaso Nyiro river, is drying up.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38For the animals, every day has become a struggle to survive.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46It's a big concern for Saba's husband, Frank.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50It's his job to protect Samburu's elephants.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54So a busy day today,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57but I think the first thing I'm going to do is talk to David.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58He gave me a call earlier.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02He's a bit concerned about one of the orphan herds that we've now got,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05that don't really know how to survive when times get tough.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Orphan herds are elephant families that have lost their matriarch -
0:04:12 > 0:04:15their leader and most experienced female.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21The recent rise in poaching has seen these older females
0:04:21 > 0:04:23targeted for their larger tusks,
0:04:23 > 0:04:29leaving one in five families in Samburu without a mature matriarch.
0:04:31 > 0:04:37In a drought, younger orphans lack the knowledge they need to survive.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Hey, David. How's it going?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Hi, good.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46David Daballen,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Head of Field Operations at Save the Elephants,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53is concerned for a 13-year-old orphan called Habiba.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54So what's going on?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Well, I'm trying to look at some of these elephants.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01She's fitted with a tracking device,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05and David has noticed she's heading into danger.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I think my main concern is that she doesn't know where she's going.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12This area, as far as I know, it's completely bare area now,
0:05:12 > 0:05:13there's just no food.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16All they're depending on is a little bit of browsing near the river.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21It's a big concern as far as the food situation is concerned.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24We've got a problem in Samburu.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Because of this surge in poaching that we've had,
0:05:27 > 0:05:32a lot of the elder females - these are the matriarchs,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35the experienced elders who led the herds -
0:05:35 > 0:05:38seems like one of the orphans in particular, Habiba,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41is stuck in a pattern of behaviour that might suggest
0:05:41 > 0:05:44that she just doesn't have the experience to go elsewhere.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47We know the feeding is really bad in the area she's in,
0:05:47 > 0:05:48so it's a bit of a worry.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Is she going to be able to survive in this drought?
0:05:51 > 0:05:56They urgently need to find Habiba so they can check on how she's doing.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Frank heads to her last known position.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06At camp, the dust barriers are nearly up...
0:06:09 > 0:06:12..which leaves Saba free to deal with the bigger problem
0:06:12 > 0:06:14of trying to find elephants for her guests.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19The drought has driven almost all of them across the river.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21On the other side of the river,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24you've got swamps and these little copses of trees and stuff,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26so there's more food for the elephants to eat.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Or certainly they seem to prefer that area.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32So when my guests come, at the moment,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35there are just no elephants on this side of the river.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'm just hoping I can find a way to get across.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42To avoid disappointment for her guests,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Saba must find a way to reach the other side.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52The key thing is whether or not the water's gone down enough.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Because if the sand is very saturated and wet,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00then there's going to be quite a lot of sinking sand.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04So there's a very high probability that I'm going to get stuck.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Wildlife guide Bernard is on hand in case Saba's crossing goes wrong.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15We just want to give our guests the best
0:07:15 > 0:07:20and going to the other side will surely be something special,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22because we're not going to see a lot of cars.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's just elephants and wildlife.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28We'll go down and check it on foot, shall we?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Joined by her daughter Selkie,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Saba checks out the potential crossing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40It's a place used by local herders. An encouraging sign.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I've been looking up and down the river for quite a while now
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and I just haven't found anywhere quite like this.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48So it's really good.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- All right, shall we try? - Let's try.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Yeah?- Let's do it!- OK!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Wahoo!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17We've done it!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yay, wasn't that easy?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24OK, Bernard, you want to give it a go?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26OK, good luck.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Go, go, go, go!
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Well done, Bernard! That was fantastic.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45That's really, really exciting!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- What do you think?- Whoo!
0:08:49 > 0:08:50What do you think?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53That was fun!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'm so excited, this is just amazing.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- It's really good. - Couldn't be better!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Yeah, I know. Well done.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- All right. Shall we head back, then?- Yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07They've found a good crossing.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09But will things run so smoothly in two hours,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11with a vehicle loaded with guests?
0:09:16 > 0:09:20A few miles away, Frank is still searching for the orphan, Habiba.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Habiba is a special elephant
0:09:26 > 0:09:30because she's only 13 years old and she's lost her mother.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38And she's without an experienced adult to guide her through life.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40And as a result, she's...
0:09:41 > 0:09:45It doesn't look like she's doing very well.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47And Frank's not just concerned for Habiba.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Although Habiba's only 13 years old,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56which is about the same as being a 13-year-old human
0:09:56 > 0:09:59in terms of life experience, she does have a little baby.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03And that means that the stakes are high,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06not just for her, but she's also got a dependant.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10And what would really help Habiba right now
0:10:10 > 0:10:14is if she could find an elder, experienced female
0:10:14 > 0:10:17from another family to take her in and show her the ropes.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Elephant herds are usually made up of family members.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32But in Samburu, some matriarchs are taking unrelated elephants
0:10:32 > 0:10:33under their wing.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43This behaviour is helping orphans survive at a time
0:10:43 > 0:10:46when their families are being torn apart by ivory poaching.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Joining a larger, more experienced group
0:10:54 > 0:10:57could offer Habiba's herd a vital lifeline.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Frank reaches the location where Habiba was last seen.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Sorry, girls.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10We got her.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Morning, Habiba.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24It's one thing to see a group of elephants on the plain,
0:11:24 > 0:11:25munching grass.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29It's another to know it's Habiba with her particular history,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31and the fact she's on her own in life,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35she's struggling with this little kid.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It does give an extra tinge to this morning's scene.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Habiba's looking a little bit scrawny.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46The calf looks a little bit on the thin side too.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50But it's to be expected in this dryness.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Habiba's calf is not the only one depending on her.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Even though she's only a teenager, at 13,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Habiba is the oldest in her herd.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11The younger orphans look to her for leadership,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14but she's half the age of a normal matriarch.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19It's such a tough thing.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22There's so much responsibility on her shoulders now.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I mean, look at all these other elephants that are with her.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27They're relying on her, they're looking up to her,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29but she doesn't really know what she's doing.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Most of the time, she's staying within the safety of the reserve,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36and as long as she doesn't do anything too erratic,
0:12:36 > 0:12:42then the rains will be here soon, and everything should be rosy.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Until the rains come, they'll have to try and make it on their own.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55With other herds scattered because of the drought,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58it's unlikely she will find an experienced family to join.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Back at camp, Saba's new guests are arriving.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Welcome!
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Welcome, everyone.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16This is Kihara. John.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18And Keresai.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19And Titike.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Lenairisha.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24She's so determined they see elephants,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Saba's decided to guide the first safari herself.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30All right, everybody ready?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Ready.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Lori and John McBride are from the US.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37They've brought their grandchildren here
0:13:37 > 0:13:39to see wild elephants for the first time.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42We're going on a big adventure.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49And I've found this wonderful new crossing to go across the river.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52This is the first time we've done it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57So we might get stuck, but if we get on the other side,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00we've got a good chance of seeing a lot of elephants.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's time for Saba to test out her crossing.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Ready, girls?- Hang on!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- And boys!- Hang on.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, we've got a woman driver, watch out.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Ruby, hang on.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17This is an adventure.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Hold on to me, darling.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Mutti!
0:14:33 > 0:14:38With the car full, the extra weight has caused it to sink in the mud.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Oh, boo! I can't believe this has happened, I'm so sorry.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45They're well and truly stuck.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51If Saba can't get them out, they won't be seeing any elephants.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03David Daballen has had some worrying news.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09The latest tracking position has shown Habiba and her calf
0:15:09 > 0:15:12heading straight for danger.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Frank's on the other side of the reserve,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16so David decides to check it out himself.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Attan Swamp is outside the reserve.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It's an area where people have settled
0:15:58 > 0:16:00to grow crops during the drought.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05In Habiba's desperation for food,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09she might be heading there to raid the farms.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12If she does, it could cause conflict with the farmers.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Having thought we would find Habiba here,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I drove all the way to the edge of the park,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28and we've not seen any sign of Habiba.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30So we're going back again,
0:16:30 > 0:16:35to start our search right back at Ewaso river.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37But still, we have not found her.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Time is ticking by.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47David needs to find her if he is to have any hope
0:16:47 > 0:16:50of turning Habiba's herd away from the farms.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Saba isn't having much luck either.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06OK.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09We're going to have to come up with another plan.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12This is the famous Saba short cut!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19She's putting on a brave face for the guests, but Saba's concerned.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Frank, Frank - do you copy?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23'Saba, Saba?'
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I'm stuck!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29'I can't hear you, say again?'
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I'm stuck in the river! I need you to save me!
0:17:33 > 0:17:36'Saba, I can't hear you properly, but I will get seriously under way,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38'and when I can hear you properly I'll come find you.'
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- OK, thank you. - 'OK.'
0:17:40 > 0:17:42We should have brought a cup of tea!
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Save Saba, don't save the elephants!
0:17:46 > 0:17:50The humiliation. I can no longer call myself a bush girl.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Frank needs to get there soon.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56The car is sinking deeper, and the sun is setting.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Back on the trail of Habiba, David's also running out of time.
0:18:11 > 0:18:17We've got about literally a quarter of an hour.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23I feel she is somewhere there, so let's hope for the best.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30He must find her before it gets dark.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33If he doesn't, he'll have to call off the search until morning.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39LOUD CRASH
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Fixing this puncture will use valuable minutes
0:19:01 > 0:19:03that David doesn't have.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Frank is on his way to try to rescue Saba and the guests.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18It's just typical, isn't it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:24Just as the sun's going down and the river's coming up,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Saba makes her last-ditch attempt to cross the river and gets stuck.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32This is a real Saba road.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Yee-ha!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Mayday, mayday!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46We've got to move fast because it's sinking.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48We've just jacked it up and got everything out.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50We're going to make it this time.
0:19:52 > 0:19:59I'm just mortified that I have to be rescued by Frank.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Oh, God.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06I'm never going to hear the end of this. Never, ever.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You know, I'm just...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Oh, God, I hate these Land Cruisers.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Ready?
0:20:41 > 0:20:42I got it out.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44APPLAUSE
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- BERNARD:- Bravo!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Oh, they're so fantastic. Thank God we are with the McBrides,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54because they have a sense of humour and a great sense of adventure.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Saba is THE expert at getting stuck
0:20:57 > 0:20:59because she goes places she shouldn't go,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01and then unstuck again.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05I think so!
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Thank you, John.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Did you expect this to happen when you came to Africa?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14No!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16What did you learn from this experience?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Never drive a car...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- On sand?- On sand or across a river.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24When you don't know the car.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27They may not have seen elephants,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31but the McBrides have had an adventure they'll never forget.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You're going to think I'm the worst guide in the world.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35We're not - they learned a good lesson.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36What? Don't go into the river?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40You should see how their father drives on the road.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Not at all, not at all.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Shall we go and have a cup of tea?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Whatever. As long as we know there's elephants on the other side.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Come on!
0:21:53 > 0:21:57David hasn't been able to find Habiba and the orphan herd.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Fixing his tyre has taken too much time.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04We've spent hours and hours looking for these guys.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07There's nothing frustrating than looking the whole day
0:22:07 > 0:22:11and you don't find them.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18My hope is she's all right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19It's a big worry.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24He'll just have to hope they can stay out of trouble overnight.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40First light, and Frank is looking for Habiba.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45He's got the latest GPS fix from her tracking collar.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50But he needs to make sure the herd is safe.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55We've just got a little group here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59We've just crossed the river to come and have a look at these girls
0:22:59 > 0:23:01and see who's here.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05It's Habiba and the orphans.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Frank is straight on the phone to David.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Hi, David. We found her.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12She's looking fine.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14She's with her baby and four others.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Little bit on the skinny side, but she's fine
0:23:16 > 0:23:18and she looks like she's heading back into the reserve.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21She's turned away from the swamp. So a big relief, yeah.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23OK, yeah, bye.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29I think what I'd like to do now is just to stay here with them.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Just make sure that they're not going to go any further that way.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I'd just like to see what her strategy is now.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43And it's just as well he's stuck around.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48An elephant family with a mature matriarch has appeared.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Habiba and the orphans are making their way towards them.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04They might be trying to join this larger herd.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09So Habiba's group
0:24:09 > 0:24:15and this new family are moving directly towards each other.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18One of them has already gone over to greet them
0:24:18 > 0:24:21so the mingling has begun.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23We're getting some contact rumbles
0:24:23 > 0:24:26as they start talking to one another.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29ELEPHANTS MAKE A LOW NOISE
0:24:34 > 0:24:37These friendly rumbles suggest the other family
0:24:37 > 0:24:40is welcoming Habiba and the orphans.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44That's so great.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47There's at least, I don't know,
0:24:47 > 0:24:5115 elephants joining up with Habiba's five.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00It's exactly what Frank and David have been hoping for -
0:25:00 > 0:25:04that the new family will take these inexperienced young elephants
0:25:04 > 0:25:06under their wing.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11It's a happy day to see her united with a bigger group,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14with some elder females that she can rely on.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17There's a better chance she'll be given the guidance
0:25:17 > 0:25:20she needs to make good decisions in life.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Not to go wondering off into danger areas,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28to stick where the feeding's good.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Have the courage to go out and be shown areas
0:25:30 > 0:25:32where there's even better feeding.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35That's really lovely to see.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Back at camp, the guests are tucking into breakfast.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03This morning, someone's invited himself for a bite to eat.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Hi, old guy!
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Good morning, Sarara!
0:26:15 > 0:26:19The visiting male finally gives the McBride family
0:26:19 > 0:26:21their first elephant experience...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25..without crossing the river.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Can't get much more of an experience than that.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Right outside the tent.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35That's crazy!
0:26:35 > 0:26:37That's so cool.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I think all the animals are just so hungry right now.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44There's so little food around,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and the bulls are willing to take this high-risk strategy
0:26:47 > 0:26:49and come right into the middle of a human settlement
0:26:49 > 0:26:52just to get their seed pods,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55because there's not very much else to eat.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You don't need binoculars here.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00They come and sit on your front porch.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07(He's eating this tree right here.)
0:27:09 > 0:27:11(Can you see him?)
0:27:22 > 0:27:26(He's going to get in my bed.)
0:27:26 > 0:27:27He's going to my room!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30I hope he takes your side of the bed, not mine.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Although I have a feeling if he takes your side,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36I'm going to roll into him.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39But this is amazing, Johnny,
0:27:39 > 0:27:44that he feels so comfortable he can walk through this camp.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46It's the way the world should be.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Next time -
0:28:02 > 0:28:04the drought continues to challenge the business...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Hey! Out, out, out!
0:28:07 > 0:28:09..driving animals to invade camp.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Naughty monkey!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17And Frank takes on a dangerous mission...
0:28:20 > 0:28:23We've got him on the transmitter, so we're going to try and walk in.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27..to find the biggest bull elephant in northern Kenya.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Sticking together is very important.
