The contestants on MBC3's Eish Safari, the region's first reality TV program for kids, are gearing up for the show's final outcome. Competition is rising between the two teams, Edube and Emkumbe.
Throughout the episodes, assigned tasks varied for the two teams and they worked hard to fulfill their responsibilities. The winning Edube team took a tour of the beautiful Ushaka marine resort to get a closer look at the beautiful marine animals while learning all about their natural environment. While the losing Emkumbe team was given the arduous mission of washing cars and preparing dinner back at their lodging area.
The next morning, both teams had the mission of bringing water into their bathrooms. They began their challenging day by placing wooden pipes to allow water flow from the water tanks to their bathrooms. Both teams celebrated their success in bringing running water into their bathrooms.
The program also contains entertaining games for the four new coming competitors who will join the two teams, Edube and Emkumbe. The winning team will choose two new members, based on their skills in the welcoming games, and the other team will get the remaining two.
In later stages of the episodes, both teams were assigned to search for items to build the Zulu cell. After an hour and 16 minutes, Edube team was unable to find all building materials which lead to an intense fight between the two team members. As a reprimand for arguing thereby breaking the Eish Safari rules, the Eish Safari manager banned the Edube team from visiting the Zulu civilization. Instead, the Edube team was asked to purchase books for orphans, while the Enkumbe team enjoyed their celebrations, singing and dancing at Zulu.
