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.
