(2018)

in this exciting episode Luca and Melua journey into the wilderness region of Mala Mala in search of the infamous Big Five. Along the way, they encounter Lions, Elephants, Buffalos and Rhino - but finding the last member of the big five proves harder than expected - with the sun setting behind them they search up and down until finally, they spot the magnificent Leopard roaming the bushveld floor.

Luca and Melua set off on an exciting Junior Rangers course. Mala Mala is the perfect classroom to learn all there is to know about surviving in the wild. Their guide Lucky teaches them many different interesting facts about the plants around them and the various animal tracks. Their Mala Mala Junior Rangers course complete - Luca and Melua are awarded their certificates.

To learn about the different animals Luca and Melua must understand the signs and clues they leave behind. Ranger Lucky teaches Luca and Melua everything there is to know about animals...and their poop.

Having searched far and wide and found the big Five, Luca and Melua go in search of two more curious creatures, the Wild Dog and the Cheetah. It takes many hours of scouring the bushveld but eventually they find them both - completing their search for the Mala Mala Big 7.

As a beautiful day begins at Mala Mala Game Reserve, Melua and Luca head out with Lucky to see what they can find. As they meander along a winding river they come across several fascinating bird species like the giant Saddle-billed stork and the tiny Pied Kingfisher. As they return back to camp they come across a huge troop of baboons. It's been another fun and exciting day for the Junior Rangers.

Luca and Melua are in the mood for a laugh - so they set off with their trusty guide lucky in search of the Spotted Hyena - a peculiar animal famous for its giggling ways. On their adventure, they come across several other weird and wonderful creatures like a troop of busy Dwarf Mongooses and a beautiful black and white fish eagle. But the highlight of their day comes when they finally find the Hyena family.

On a lovely summer's day in Mala Mala Luca and Melua set off to learn more about the various types of Bushveld grazers that call these lands home. The first grazer they encounter is the large blubbery Hippopotamus. Next, they come across a dazzle of black and white zebras munching on the lush green grass. Finally, as the day starts to draw to a close they encounter the Bushveld's largest and most well-known grazer - the elephant.

Luca and Melua head out in search of Mala Mala's browsers. Browsers are animals that get their food from the high branches of the Bushveld's leafy green treetops. They come across several different types of browsers such as the world's tallest animal - the Giraffe and the Kudu - with its long beautiful curly horns.

The big five are famous for being Africa's largest and most ferocious animals - but when they are still babies they are some of the cutest creatures on the planet. Luca and Melua set out in search of Mala Mala's Big 5 and their Babies.

Inspired by all the baby big 5 animals they saw on their previous trip - Luca and Melua decide to go in search of all the other cute babies that live in the Bushveld. ON their journey they come across bouncy baby zebras, fluffy cheetah cubs and energetic little warthog babies.
