The Great Lion Hunt
Series following a family who moved to Kenya to run a safari camp. Saba is on a mission to find newborn lion cubs, and Frank races to rescue a lioness.
Wildlife expert Saba Douglas-Hamilton, together with her husband Frank and their three young children, moves to the romantic Samburu National Reserve in Kenya to run a safari camp for the first time. But life out there isn't easy. There are monkeys in the kitchen, floods threatening the camp and, with no fences to keep out the wildlife, elephants are regular house guests. This series follows their ups and downs as the family struggles to keep guests, elephants, lions and even crocodiles smiling.
It is the busiest week of the season at the safari camp, and Saba is on a mission to find newborn lion cubs. Husband Frank races to rescue a lioness in need of help. A power crisis strikes camp, and a member of the team is rushed to the hospital with suspected malaria. Can Saba and Frank keep their dream alive and the guests happy during their busiest week so far?
