Little does English air stewardess Kerry Stephens know what she is letting herself in for when she agrees to accompany world-renowned South African wildlife artist Chad Lindsay on a field trip to a remote game reserve. A charging elephant, hungry lion and car breakdown are just some of the challenges she faces. There's also her companion. Chad is an independent, at times arrogant, womanizer who makes no secret of his intention to add her to his list of conquests. To compound her problems, Kerry falls ill with fever. Her dream holiday is in danger of turning into a nightmare. But as she recovers she sees a softer, more caring side to the artist. Shared adventures have created a bond between them. And by the beautiful Zambezi River Kerry finds her feelings changing.
