Problems in Paradise
Series following a family who moved to Kenya to run a safari camp. The camp reopens after the rainy season, but Saba's worst nightmare is turning into reality.
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 safari camp reopens after the rainy season, but Saba's worst nightmare is turning into reality. She has a houseful of guests on their way, the cupboards are bare, and there's nowhere for them to sleep. Husband Frank has problems of his own. He must fit a tracking device to a six-ton bull elephant, but the mission does not go according to plan.
