Series about orphaned baby elephants at the David Shelrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. In Nairobi, Michaela Strachan follows the fortunes of two of the new babies, Jipe and Lualeni.

As the unfolding drama of the rabies emergency plays out, Jonathan Scott is in northern Tsavo with Wendi and the other nine little orphaned elephants. What will be their fate?

In Nairobi, Michaela is following the contrasting fortunes of two of the new orphan babies, Jipe and Lualeni, and joins in as the keepers organise a very special football match - Orphans FC versus Keepers FC.

In southern Tsavo Emily, the matriarch of the big orphan herd, has finally decided to strike out on her own. For the orphanage, Emily has become another success story; for her, it's the end of an 11-year journey back to the wild, but it's the end of an era for Jonathan too. Can he track her down for one last time just to say goodbye?
