Monkeys in the Kitchen
Series following a family who moved to Kenya to run a safari camp. Cheeky monkeys are taking over the camp. Frank and David set off to help a bull elephant.
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.
With the drought biting hard, food is in short supply and cheeky monkeys are taking over the family's safari camp. With water running short, Saba is struggling to give her guests the experience they expect. Frank and David set off on a dangerous mission to help the biggest bull elephant in northern Kenya.
