A working holiday in Africa means the trip of a lifetime for animal-lover Mandy Hope. She can't wait to see all the animals in the wild!

An elephant has been injured by poachers and her baby, Evie, has run off, terrified. As night closes in, there's still no sign of her - Mandy and James begin to worry. If the poachers haven't killed Evie, the hyenas probably will ... They've got to find her - but they're running out of time!
