John and Judy Travers run Imire Safari Ranch, an 11,000-acre game park east of Harare in Zimbabwe, where they have spent years trying to keep black rhinos from disappearing entirely. The film follows Judy after a string of animal deaths leaves three orphans on her hands at once: a baby rhino, a warthog, and a hyena, all raised inside her own house rather than in a pen. Footage moves between that improvised nursery and the wider ranch, where the couple has also taken in orphaned elephants, including Nzou, a 35-year-old female who grew up to become matriarch of a buffalo herd, and younger elephants like Makavusi, Toto, and Mundevu, trained well enough to be ridden and to work alongside staff. Imire's approach mixes conservation with tourism, and the film shows both sides: the daily feeding, handling, and bonding that keeps a hand-raised rhino calm around people, and the practical case that a working, visitable ranch is what keeps the funding for that rhino coming in.
