Wild At Heart

After the devastating loss of Leopard’s Den, the family are split across continents. Caroline, Liv and a heavily pregnant Alice are in the UK, while Danny and Du Plessis have remained in South Africa, trying to raise enough money to buy a new reserve and make a fresh start.

Danny returns to South Africa with Caroline, Liv and Charlotte. They are all excited to be back and are looking forward to seeing their new home, Clearwater Farm. However their excitement turns to dismay when they discover that Du Plessis hasn’t lifted a finger since Danny left, and the place is falling apart.

Danny has been preparing his pitch for an Endangered Species Project. JLW, a pharmaceutical company, are looking to fund an environmental project and the family hope that this grant money will enable them to buy Leopard’s Den and Mara.

Danny and Ed release two cheetah brothers together – a symbol of their new partnership – but not all of the family are happy about this new start

The family are still estranged following Caroline’s decision to move back to the decrepit Clearwater house with Du Plessis. Rosie is determined to reunite everyone, and plans a civilised dinner as a step towards reconciliation.

Danny is in prison, accused of murdering Peeters, but Du Plessis is determined to prove his friend’s innocence by any means he can. Du Plessis’ first attempt backfires disastrously when he harangues a police officer and ends up in a cell next to Danny.

With Danny away, and Du Plessis undertaking an ignominious stretch of community service, Ed is left in charge of running the Endangered Species Project. After chasing a warthog around the clinic, Ed is embarrassed to find a beautiful stranger watching him with amusement.

Danny and Ed are anxiously preparing for a review with JLW, the pharmaceutical company that fund their Endangered Species Project. They are desperate for it to go smoothly, and as a result are driving the rest of the family mad.

The family are struggling to survive following the loss of their funding, but Ed’s attempt to solve their problems backfires dramatically. Meanwhile Danny receives news that could blow the family apart.

As Danny prepares to leave for the UK, Du Plessis makes an alarming discovery about Ed and Fiona. However when Danny, Du Plessis and Ed are called out to help with a lion in the National Park, it looks like Danny’s last adventure will end in tragedy.
