Episode 5 of 5

Ben and Kate deliver a huge festive treat to the zebras, while Megan and Hamza check if the reindeer are ready for take-off.

Ben, Kate and the keepers are pulling out all the stops to deliver festive treats in time for the big day. The whole park is mobilised for one of the biggest animal enrichments on record. The keepers have arranged for tons of sand to be delivered to the safari drive-through for the zebras, giraffe and ostrich to play in. The keepers anticipate they’ll love rolling in their treat, but as is so often the case with toys at Christmas, should they have kept the receipt?

Just like any Christmas soap opera episode, family gatherings rarely run smoothly, and that’s exactly the case with the pack of African painted dogs. This band of brothers, who were so close earlier in the year, have been squabbling and are now fighting. Will an ambitious festive feed-up do the trick and bring the brothers back together on the big day?

Hamza attempts to create the ultimate festive family photo with the tiger cubs and then joins Megan for a last-minute flight check for the reindeer – they have a busy evening ahead.

As the night before Christmas approaches, the keepers pause to reflect on the profound connection they share with their animals, cherishing each magical moment that deepens their unique bond.
