In the first episode of this brand new series I'll exploring Kenya.

Join me as I stay at the remote tented camp in Laikipia, with its beautiful views across the Rift Valley. Experiencing my first safari in Samburu National Park I'll be on the lookout for lions, zebra, and elephants - not the sort of animals I normally see at home in Wakefield!

I’ll be getting up early to watch the most spectacular sunrise and I’ll even spend a night sleeping out under the stars - which was the most amazing experience!

I'll be exploring more travel destinations, from the beautiful to the exotic, in the following episodes of this new series.

On Safari with Jane McDonald - Thursday 27th April, 8pm on Channel 5.
