The Wildlife Orphanage

Season 1
Normally animal shelters are the last refuge for unfortunate creatures. But in Namibia, Southern Africa, there is a different kind of shelter: a ten thousand hectare orphanage - a haven for wild nimals. The residents are rather exotic- lions, baboons and cheetahs. The two-legged stars of the series are the volunteers.
