Family in the Wild

Kim reinforces his commitment to the hyena clan; showing their kind and playful nature rather than the villains they are often portrayed to be.

The first rains are around the corner and not a moment too soon. The long dry season is taking its toll, but some early bloomers offer relief, if you know where to look.

The dry season is in its death throes and the pans are all but pools of dry mud. The few remaining water sources are stretched to their limits and bustling with stressed animals.

As the first big rainstorm drenches the landscape and breathes new life into the environment.

As spring sets in, a diversity of wildlife makes the best of the bounty in the area. Foam nest frogs begin their frothy courtship while storks prowl the full pans.

Kim gets the fright of his life when a large male lion saunters right past him and looks deep into his soul.

Kim and his human clan have a spell of unusual encounters; from a family of white rhinos, to a cacophony of jackals, warning of a leopard in the vicinity.

In this Season finale, Kim spends some quality time with Saskia and Kiki before heading off on his own for a few days.
