Summary Sophie shares his journey with Hélène Gateau, a French veterinarian and TV presenter (Hélène et les animaux): a journey focused on the wildlife in Namibia. With the help of Tim Theron, a guide and driver they discover the wildlife in the Etosha National Park: there the local ranger and and guide Joshua shows them lions, zebras, kudus, warthogs and suddenly an ostrich is hunting a hyena (the ostrich wants to protect its eggs).Then the Damaraland: Chris of the "Elephant-Human-Relations Aid" received them: visit of a village of cattle breeders (cows,sheep, goats) : Chris and his visitors will paint the fences and talk about the repellents against elephants (in some African countries people use hot pepper and in other country beehives).They spend the night under camping tents and on the morning they can see a huge female elephant called Beatrix (Chris has a notebook with the description of each elephant of this area).Later Sophie and Hélène arrive at Nalankuse Wildlife sanctuary: an animal rescue center of orphan baboons and cheetahs: there Mariice Van Vuuren, the founder of the center and some volunteers are taking care for the orphans animals : Mariice organizes every day a walk for the baboons who jump over the shoulders of the visitors and later the cheetahs run for while in the bush (there are about 3.000-3.500 cheetahs living in freedom in Namibia). Then an excursion to Brandberg area where Sophie and Hélène live a dramatic and touching event: a young elephant has fallen in a hole and tries to get out of the hole,suddenly its mother appears and helps the young elephant to get out of the hole (the power of motherhood). Later Sophie and Hélène are in Walvis Bays and they can see fur seals, a very common animal on the Namibian which eats a lot of fishes and the fishermen hate them. Then a touching moment; Sophie and Hèlène visit in Kamanjabi a community of Himba women and spend a nice moment with them. Finally both women go with Tim to the dunes of the Namib desert and they enjoy the place. Besides we see zooms about Windhoek and the creative township of Katatura (pictures of Joel Haikali, fashion designs of Abisai Tileka), about Stéphane Brossard and his travel to Damaraland to see rhinoceros, about the hot air balloon flights and the sand surfing in the Namib desert, about the descendants of German settlers (bookkeepers, pastries shop, cattle breeder family), about the Bushman (called also San) who live between tradition and modernity, about the sport fishermen at the seaside who fish the copper shark ( and later released it ) and about the Himba people of the Koakoland ( a very desert area) whose life conditions are very hard.
