Wild Warrior Encounters

In this episode we witness a desperate mission to save a spooked impala that got it's leg caught in a fence. Luckily the volunteers reacted quickly and made a plan to help the impala. One of the highlights for any volunteer at Imire is to interact with the incredibly clever elephants. Daily training is done the elephants to hone their skills. It's hard to believe but these gentle giants can actually track poachers. And, there is always time for fun tasks. It is vital for the volunteers to bond with each other so the Imire management team, devise amazing fun tasks, including this one, whereby 2 teams are challenged to build their own raft and race across the dam. After many laughs there is one clear winner.

Wild Warrior Encounters

In this episode the volunteers discover the community's role in conservation and give a hand with some of the building projects. Honey harvesting proves hair-raising for a number of volunteers, particularly Kristina, who has a bee sting phobia …. Who could blame her! A new addition bolsters the conservation efforts in the form of an amazing tracker dog called Merwe. This is a special Dutch Shepherd breed that has an incredible combination of a heightened sense of smell, speed and formidable teeth. It's always a privilege to be able to get close to black rhino and it can often be quite an emotional moment for some of the volunteers, as is the case with Jane who can't hold the tears back as she feeds Tafika for the last time.

Wild Warrior Encounters

In this episode the volunteers experience close up encounters with iconic creatures. It's not often people can experience a walk with elephants and really appreciate the size of these beasts. Giraffe also happen to wonder close which makes the experience even more epic. The volunteers get to handle paint ball guns to get an understanding of how the anti poaching team operates and it seems like Kristina is a pretty good shot! And, nothing stands in the way of hard work, as it's all hands on deck securing electric strands to a border fence. This will dramatically improve the security at Imire.

Wild Waters

Wild Waters

From the highest mountain to the lowest valley, rivers and streams are freshwater highways, de-livering essential life blood to all kinds of wildlife. From some of the most iconic species like the otter and the trout, to the unfamiliar and elusive, like the delicate harvest mouse. Life on these freshwater freeways can be tough, and for many it's a constant battle just to stay alive. Take a break from the oceans and turn to the rivers and streams, home to the real wild waters of the nat-ural world.

Rottnest Island: Kingdom Of The Quokka

Rottnest Island: Kingdom Of The Quokka

Islands worldwide are grand experiments in nature, with their isolation creating unique conditions for animals to diverge from the norm. On the far west of the Australian continent lies Rottnest Island where one of the worlds ‘happiest', yet most vulnerable marsupials the Quokka thrives. How do they survive here in such inhospitable conditions and nowhere else? In a world first, the entire life cycle of the Quokka will be filmed using special natural history filming techniques to expose the secrets of its survival mechanisms.
