South African wildlife conservation series set to appear on Netflix

The series provides an intensive behind-the-scenes look at what’s involved in managing a 250-square-kilometre private game reserve. From ensuring sufficient vegetation for the herbivores to maintaining a balance between predator and prey. 

It also explores tough and often life-endangering considerations the team has to make when intervening in dangerous situations.

Told largely from the perspective of wildlife vet Johan Joubert and ecologist John O’Brien, the series touches on nearly every aspect of managing the reserve. This includes the work done at its Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre where sick, injured and orphaned animals are patiently and painstakingly nursed back to health before being released back into the wild, to the vital role of the anti-poaching unit and the difficult and often dangerous work of the wildlife capture teams.
