Live the dream with Animal Planet as Shamwari: A Wild Life gives you the chance to follow the amazing work of a very special group of people who are lucky enough to call Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa both work and home.
Their office is 45,000 acres of unspoiled wilderness, teeming with the world's most incredible animals. Their homes are surrounded by electric fences to make sure the lions and elephants don’t get to close for comfort!
Presented by Lyndal Davies, who also lives on the reserve, this unique series takes us behind the scenes of this incredible place and gives us an insight into the hard work that goes into caring for the animals and maintaining the land.
Shamwari: A Wild Life kicks off with the birth of a baby giraffe, followed by the release of a white rhino which doesn’t quite go to plan. Then it’s a race against time when the wild dogs escape and ecologist John O’Brien has to work against the clock to get them back.
Lyndal and her team must also make preparations for a very special new arrival: one of the most elusive animals - a baby leopard. Every day is different and as we will quickly realise, working with wild animals is anything but predictable.
