EPISODE 1

Practice Makes Perfect

The lions' new home will be a sanctuary on the edge of Dinokeng, a South African game reserve spanning 18,000 square metres. Kevin Richardson's task ahead includes planning and designing the new enclosures, and securing permits to move the animals.
EPISODE 2

Precious Cargo

Not only are the animals regularly rotated into new enclosures to prevent repetitive behaviour developing out of boredom, but Kevin also has to practice loading them in and out of the van. Can the reluctant lions and hyenas eventually be persuaded to get on board with the move?
