Naturalist Steve Backshall explores the wildlife in the landscapes of Namibia, southern Africa. He tracks two hungry cheetahs as they go on a hunt, stakes out a carcass to get up close to a group of vultures, and has a close encounter with an agitated lion as he helps a vet at work.

This week Steve is in the vast nature reserves of South Africa. He goes in search of a pack of rare and endangered African wild dogs, he helps capture and tag a magnificent martial eagle. He gets hands on with a venomous spitting cobra and a puff adder as they strike and he risks life and limb to kayak up close to Africa's most dangerous mammal, the highly unpredictable hippopotamus.
