TThere’s no better place than South Africa to come up close and personal to our favourite gentle giants; the world’s largest and heaviest land animal, the elephant. In Episode 6 our team take a cruise along Sunday's River, before visiting Addo Elephant National Park near Port Elizabeth, home to over 600 elephants and one of the most dense populations of elephants in all of Africa. Watch as Maya, Alice and Saunders come close to these magnificent creatures for the first time. They also spot lions, zebra, buffalo and ostriches in their natural habitat too - undoubtedly an indelible and memorable moment for them all.
