A man in a white t-shirt and shorts stands barefoot on the sandy ground at Harnas, pointing towards something in the distance. Beside him, a lion stands, gazing in the same direction. Bushes and trees form an intriguing backdrop to this unique scene.
A group of people, including a cameraman from Harnas, are on top of and around a large truck, observing and filming several wildebeests running through the grassy terrain. The sky is partly cloudy.

Synopsis

Animals are often housed in cheerless places. But there is another type of animal refuge: a paradise in Namibia, southern Africa, created by the Harnas Wildlife Foundation. Its residents are as varied as the countryside: lions, baboons, wild dogs, cheetahs, mongooses and antelopes.

Two-dozen wardens and rangers feed, protect and provide veterinary care and young people from all over the world offer to work as volunteers for a matter of weeks or months, while paying for their stay. They feed, monitor and study around 400 types of animals. They get in close contact with wild dogs and other predators.

The core of the series is following the young volunteers’ relationship with wild animals; their stories of love, passion and hate; their adventures with creatures as small as a meerkat and as big as a lion. City slickers from London, New York and Frankfurt suddenly become foster parents to baby leopards. Many start as pale, sceptical and timid characters, but leave happy, tired and tanned with experiences that will last them a lifetime.
