导演本·斯塔森和摄影师肖恩·麦克劳德·菲利普斯回到非洲南部，开始了一次全新的冒险之旅。被称作“狮语者”的动物行为学家凯文·理查德森与从小与大象一起长大的玛拉·道格拉斯·汉密尔顿带领观众以旅行的方式穿过了地球上景色最壮丽的地方：从纳米比亚风景如画的海岸沙丘的沙漠，路过堪称自然奇观的火山口，到达叹为观止的维多利亚瀑布和乞力马扎罗之巅。 　　在这次旅程中，你能与狮子、猎豹、美洲豹、黑犀牛和大象们近距离的亲密接触。这是一辈子一次的旅行，所以让我们做好准备，一起进入真正的没有围墙保护的非洲原野。 Filmmaker Ben Stassen and cinematographer Sean MacLeod Phillips return to southern Africa for a whole new adventure. Animal behaviorist Kevin Richardson - "The Lion Whisperer" - guides audiences on an extraordinary journey across the most spectacular sceneries on earth: from the picturesque coastal desert dunes of Namibia, through the natural wonder of the Ngorongoro crater and then on to the breathtaking Victoria Falls. The film delivers startlingly close encounters with lions, cheetahs, leopards, black rhinoceros and elephants. This is the trek of a lifetime, so get ready to be immersed in the real wild Africa - where there are no fences for your protection.

Look at that, our timing is perfect.
It is the first time in my life I've seen a cheetah in a tree.
Yeah, it's unusual.
Look, cubs in the grass.
I didn't even see them there.
I was too busy looking up.
Contrary to leopards who spend most of their days in trees, cheetah only use them briefly as vantage point to scan the plains for potential prey.
The oryx she spotted are certainly too big for a lone cheetah but a coalition of two or three of them could probably take such a big antelope down.
Most predators do quite well in national parks and private game reserves, as there are plenty of prey for them to hunt.
But Cheetahs have a much tougher time competing with the bigger cats like lion or leopard.
The fences around the parks reduce their hunting range drastically and they often become prey themselves.
To survive they need vast protected areas like this one.
The sighting left us speechless.
In just a few days, we've had multiple encounters with two of the most endangered animals on the continent.
What an auspicious start to our journey across Africa.
But the day wasn't over yet.
As we are driving away, I catch a glimpse of a wonderful sight in my rear view mirror.
当我们开车离开时，我从后视镜里瞥见了一个美妙的景象。
Considering the loss of habitat due to population explosion in Africa and the hunting by local farmers, man is unquestionably the cheetah's biggest threat.
考虑到非洲人口激增和当地农民的狩猎导致栖息地的丧失，人类无疑是猎豹最大的威胁。
But ironically, without man's intervention the species won't make it on its own.
但具有讽刺意味的是，如果没有人类的干预，这个物种就无法独立生存。
The most graceful cat on our planet is literally racing for its survival.
我们这个星球上最优雅的猫实际上是在为生存而比赛。
Leaving Namibia for the Okavango Delta in Botswana, we cross the northern part of the Kalahari desert, the home of some the biggest and most powerful lions in Africa.
离开纳米比亚前往博茨瓦纳的奥卡万戈三角洲，我们穿过卡拉哈里沙漠的北部，那里是非洲一些最大、最强大的狮子的家园。
As we are looking for a campsite along the northern border of the reserve, we come across a coalition of three big male lions.
A worrisome sight so close to local villages.
Lions normally do not hunt on farmland, but the loss of their habitat force them occasionally to raid villages for domestic animals.
This resulting conflict is the main cause for the rapid decline of the number of lions in the wild.
