The Cat Report is a TV series following the lives of big cat families and hyena clans in Africa

It is the ultimate wildlife soap opera

The WildEarth guides have followed these characters for years.

They all have names, personalities and prowess.

Their everyday encounters draw audiences into close and lasting relationships with each of them.

From family quarrels and love affairs to wild hunts and cute cubs, these animals never have a dull moment.

Our guides have fostered very personal relationships with the safariLIVE characters as they share and record their daily routines.
