TERRIBLE PROGRAMME

It is filmed in South Africa but looks like it was filmed in somebody's back garden in South London.

How's that? It looked like Africa to me.

Why does everyone hate this program? It's not supposed to be 100% accurate - it's a TV show.
The acting may not be as good as it could be, but it was far from being poor.
I agree it is predictable, but that's the sort of thing I like on Sunday night. I mean, if I'm tired and there's a long week ahead, do I want to watch some complicated murder mystery where you are constantly left in the dark to as where you are in the plot? No.

Besides, it is a lot better than some of the stupifying crap that's also on TV.

NOTHING that Stephen Tompkinson is in is awful, predictable, or poor. I absolutely love everything he does. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Guessing from your comments that you have never been to Africa then! It def is South Africa and not everyone picks up a South African Accent over there, especially if you are as remote and cut off as they are. Each to their own I guess, but I think that it is a top programme that does reflect life over there in that situation, pretty well. Ok it doesn't show the pure sheer hard slog but then that is not sexy tv n not really what the prog focusses on. But it does show the unrivalled beauty of the country and animals.

If you don't like it then I am sure you can find the energy to switch over.

"perfect English accents. "

wtf is this english accent you speek of

92 BREEDS INCLUDING CORGIES + ST BERNARDS OFFICIALY LISTED AS "DANGEROUS" IN ITALY

I read the comments with interest. I work for Amazon.co.uk and what you here on Wild at Heart, you hear at my place of work, we have people from all over Africa as well as Europe and the East/Far East. None of my associates speak "perfect English" neither do I. One of them talks just like Du Plessis in the series and one speaks just like the locals in the series.

I lived very close to where that is filmed, a long time ago, and whilst some of the animals aren't quite right (for example in a recent episode they had a Lynx - not found in Africa, they had a WHITE lion, they're found over at Timbavati and they probably borrowed it for that shot, last week's they had what Danny described as a baby hippopotamus - it wasn't it was a full grown PYGMY hippo, and they're only found in the Congo.)

I have worked in the game parks in Zambia (Northern Rhodesia then) and once in the Kruger in South Africa.

I write under the names of M J Vreen, Richards Kersey and Bob Curby and my books are about the sort of things portrayed in Ashley Pharoah's brilliant Wild at Heart.

Don't pick too many holes, it's well co-ordinated and mostly true to fact, if you'd like to know where it's filmed well it's a game lodge called GLEN AFRIC in the Pilansburg Game Reserve, Hartbeestpoort, 40 minutes outside Johannesburg.

Enjoy what's left of the series.

Hahaha, have you ever actually been to London? =P

I think they look pretty tanned tbh, they're not going to go completely dark beng British, and probably have to slather on suncream.

I like it, good for a Sunday Evening.
