Chasing the Rains

Travel to Samburu, where matriarch Anastasia turns her elephant herd north after a local river dries up. Then, in Naboisho, see cheetah mum Kuleta evade a crafty pack of hyenas. Later, in Laikipia, check in on wild dog Phoenix and her new litter.

Discover the clever way elephants dig wells, and see the relief that comes with a sudden river-filling downpour. Mourn cheetah Kuleta’s loss after lions kill one of her cubs, and get a front-row seat when wild dog Phoenix faces off with a hyena mob.

Trail Anastasia as her herd splits to protect two precious elephant calves, while Kuleta retakes territory for her remaining cheetah cubs. Join wild dog Phoenix’s search for a new mate as the skies open up and rain begins to heal the parched land.
