Business at Leopard’s Den isn’t flourishing. Sarah decides that new luxury accommodation which will attract wealthy guests is the answer to their financial problems.

Danny is finding it tough to juggle mending the fences, his veterinary practice and the health of his animals. A zebra dies unexpectedly, and he needs to stop whatever killed it spreading to other animals.

Sarah is on a shopping trip with her mother Caroline (Hayley), purchasing soft furnishings for the new accommodation, when there is a problem with Sarah’s card. The bank has frozen her credit as they are constantly overdrawn.

Zebras slip through the damaged fencing into the neighbouring reserve, Mara, angering the manager, Fatani. As Danny tries to smooth things over, he finds two tiger cubs in Fatani’s “zoo for endangered species” and is outraged.

Later, the cubs go missing and Fatani immediately accuses Danny of taking them. Danny knows nothing about it but in retaliation, Fatani lures away workers from Leopard’s Den with the promise of instant cash. Things go from bad to worse when Danny learns that his lab bills are still outstanding.

This week Danny has an elephant problem: there’s not enough space for their growing numbers at Leopard’s Den. The elephants have eaten all the available foliage and are beginning to fight over food, and injure each other. If Danny can’t solve this problem, Du Plessis tells him, the only humane thing to do will be to cull some of the elephants.

Sarah has her work cut out with the first guests in the new luxury lodge - a hen party of excitable young women - while Du Plessis’s son, Kirk, arrives with his girlfriend, Neema, and Du Plessis is thrilled to discover he is going to be a granddad.

Fatani is nervous because Mara’s new owner is arriving. But Elliot Kriel turns out to be a really good guy. One of the first things he does is invite the Trevanions over for a meal so he can get to know his neighbours. It turns out he may have a solution for Danny’s elephant problem too.

But it’s not just elephants on the agenda. Rosie calls Danny away to investigate a giraffe problem near the fence with Mara. It seems the new electric fence Fatani has installed is hurting the giraffes…
