[Music] Standing by. Good afternoon again, my name is James Hendry and on camera today we've got Mono. That's his thumb, with the ring on a steel ring, very nice! Yeah, made of copper. Mmm, wonderful.

Okay, so we're coming to you live from the Masai Mara. Tristan is down in South Africa and a special warm welcome to the schools conference that has joined us today. Its name, I'm afraid, has escaped me. There were two, now there is one, and it is the... it's coming, don't worry everybody, it'll come while consolidated school districts of New Britain. Good, marvelous, wonderful to have you with us!

We will hopefully find you lots of animals and you can send us any questions you'd like using the hashtag #SafariLive. Otherwise, I think you guys are probably joining us on Skype. You can do that. The rest of you, #SafariLive on Twitter. Otherwise, the YouTube chat channel will work very well.

We're hopefully also gonna have Scotty following the cheetahs. There in some very bad signal, five male cheetah at the moment, but he can't afford to leave them to go away from the cheetah sand. Fine signal because, of course, then we will lose the cheetah, and at the moment, they are the most important part of, well, this afternoon so far.

Now I've come up again. Many of you will feel the time gone stark raving insane because for the third afternoon in a row, I find myself sitting on the edge of the early low escarpment looking for the sausage tree pride and not finding them. I'm hoping that it's going to change during the course of the day while I decide whether I should be flying over the Cuckoo's Nest or not.

It does here down to South Africa where Tristan is knocking about in what used to be winter. Good afternoon everybody and welcome to our sunset Safari from sunny South Africa. My name is Justin and on camera today I've got a sins. Oh, and a special, special warm welcome to the consolidated schools of New Britain teachers conference! Hopefully, you will enjoy your next 45 minutes with us and remember to ask lots of questions and we'll try and answer as many as we can.

Now for the rest of our viewers, we will be taking the teachers conference for your questions first, but you can still send your questions through on #SafariLive on Twitter or on the YouTube chat, and we'll get into those a little bit later. Right now I know James is out looking for the sausage pride down in the Maasai Mara and I'm out, well, I think to start, I'm going to start looking for some of our big gray... great pachyderms because it is quite warm this afternoon.

So we're going to try and see if we can't find some elephants at the waterhole before we turn our attentions a little bit later to maybe trying to find some of the spotted cats. This morning there were tracks for a male leopard, a female leopard, and a leopard cub all together, and it's actually close to where I am right now. So we're gonna try and see if we can't find them a little bit later.

It's probably a bit warm for them now and they are spending quite a bit of time sleeping, I would imagine. I don't think they're gonna be moving around too much, so we're gonna try and see if we can check some of the warthogs to start off with and then carry on from there and see maybe, just maybe, if we get lucky.

Now, I'm hoping that we will get some elephants. They have been a few big herds of elephants around in the past few days. There was a herd yesterday afternoon that was well over 50 of them that were walking around. So I'm gonna try and see if I can't find any sign of them. They do leave quite a few footprints, so they are a nice herd to track. It's quite easy to follow those big round footprints, so hopefully we will find them.

Now I believe James has got another spotted kind of creature that is running across the great plains of East Africa. Well, sort of everyone, it was running down the mountain, and well, there were two of them. In fact, I think we've seen four so far, and they took a little bit of a fright from us, but very unusual to see them hunt. There they are, hunting about this time of the day. There are hyenas, the spotted hyena, and we're just gonna go up around the corner...
