No one can deny that episode two of safariLIVE: The Gauntlet was an outstanding production and possibly the best of our live televised safari experiences to date! The highly anticipated re-addition of the Mara was an unbelievable success, the crew are thrilled that we get to share it with you all once again.

We have certainly set the bar high as we approach an equally exciting episode three. Once again however, it does mean more rehearsals and practice for the team. These rehearsals will have an impact on the sunrise safaris on 9 and 10 August as we prepare to bring you the gauntlet of the African wilderness. As with prior rehearsals the first hour will be closed to the public, once finished we will be going into a hour long open broadcast on the safariLIVE YouTube channel where you’ll be able to get your safari fix.

Don’t miss out on all the animal action, safariLIVE: The Gauntlet airs Friday, 11 pm EDT on Nat Geo WILD. Remember, you can also catch safariLIVE: The Gauntlet and safariLIVE: Overtime on the safariLIVE YouTube channel as well as natgeo.com/Safarilive.
