The River Crossing
Series following a family who moved to Kenya to run a safari camp. Drought starts to make life difficult. Frank is concerned about a herd of orphaned elephants.
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.
Drought is beginning to make life difficult for people and wildlife in Kenya's Samburu National Reserve. Saba's daring plan to track down elephants for her guests goes wrong. Frank is concerned about a herd of young orphaned elephants heading into danger. With no leader to guide them, can they find their way to safety?
