Hosted by Rhino Safari Camp, the epic safari continues back in the Matusadona National Park where Kristina is guided by Steve. They explore the lake-shore, encounter the hungry local pride and Marula, the resident elephant, makes a lunch-time appearance.

Monkeys: loveable, aggressive, diverse and full of mischief. Our distant cousins have much in common with us. They're intelligent, cooperative and have complex relationships. They're some of the most evolutionary successful species on the planet, successful across the globe from Japanese snow monkeys to African baboons. Swinging through our family tree quickly reveals the diversity of our monkey relatives. They come in all shapes and sizes, and are certainly not as different from us as we might think.
Africa: one of the most iconic and diverse continents. It's packed with a spectacular range of habitats and environments, and home to some of the best loved and dramatic wildlife on the planet. From the small and surprising to the enormous and entertaining, there's something for everyone's bucket list on this vast continent. From camels to giraffes, gorillas to buffalo, the sheer range of wildlife found in Africa is unbelievable. With so much to see, where would you begin your bucket list adventure?
The endless plains of East Africa is a paradise for lions. The most social of all cats, lions form prides that are unlike any other animals. Together, they'll hunt, raise their young and defend their territory. With such a close family and plentiful home, the pride welcomes new babies every year. But new children introduces new dangers. The cubs will have to trust their instincts, their mother and the power of the pride if they are to make it to adulthood and take their place on the African plains.
Savanna, prairie, meadow: grassland goes by many names. Seas of green, dominated by one of the most successful plant species. It's so hardy and productive that it can survive flooding, drought and fires, managing to feed vast animal communities. What's more, it's not just a food source, it's also a theatre many of nature's most dramatic spectacles play out in this breathtaking wilderness. We literally need grasslands to breathe, but they're a vital resource for some of our most exciting wildlife!
Rivers flow like veins across the Earth, a lifeline to countless ecosystems. Since the dawn of time they've fuelled the development of animal and human life alike. Habitats in constant flux, they change with the seasons, gradually transforming over time. As we run the river's course, we meet the spectacular animals who depend on it. These waterways are as much as lifeblood to this wildlife as they are to us. They deserve our respect and protection – they're our lifeblood and we must keep them flowing.
The world is facing an urgent biodiversity crisis. Untold numbers of animals are at risk of being lost forever, with many species racing towards extinction. In this show, we try to highlight some of these incredible creatures, from the plucky pangolins to the critically endangered rhinoceroses, who live in constant fear of the poacher's bullet. Films provide a record of Earth's wonderful wildlife, but this is hopefully not an archive of what's lost, but evidence of what we should be preserving.

On the African plains lions rule. They're not the biggest or fastest animals around, but stealth, teamwork and the strength of the pride means they almost always come out on top.
In an ever changing world food is one of the few constants – it's the driver for almost anything that creatures do. Appetites vary from species to species, but some seem to take more than their fair share

The ultimate icons of polar wilderness, able to withstand the harshest environments and remain a top predator the lives of polar bears are nothing short of remarkable!
One of the oddest natural adaptations is super-deep sleep. These near-death experiences feature animals temporarily stopping their hearts and brains others can hibernate for months at a time while some can freeze themselves, employing a natural anti-freeze to keep their cells intact. But as we explore this natural time travel, we also discover that this lifestyle is not without risks…
The tropics can be found in the band around the centre of the Earth. This position shapes dramatic landscapes and a range of challenges to all who live there. Tropics are perhaps best known for rainforests thanks to the extensive rains and lush, fruiting vegetation, these exhibit the greatest biodiversity of any habitat on the planet. The tropics aren't just about rainforests, however. They also support remarkable grasslands and even deserts, where yet more incredible flora and fauna can be found.
