Elephant SOS

Episode 3 of 10

Series following a family who moved to Kenya to run a safari camp. As a rogue flash flood strikes, Saba races to protect the camp and the animals.

Wildlife expert Saba Douglas-Hamilton, together with her husband Frank and their three young children, move 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.

The family's first few weeks running a safari camp in a rugged outpost on northern Kenya's frontier have been a rollercoaster ride. Now the real test begins. The rainy season hits Samburu National Reserve. As a rogue flash flood strikes, Saba races to protect the camp and the animals. In the reserve, a mother elephant and her young calf are in trouble.
