Jewellery shop owner 49-year-old Tracy from Essex and her three children, 25-year-old Morgan, 22-year-old Joe and 17-year-old Ollie, love to holiday in five-star luxury. The family has travelled to exotic locations around the world but when they're on foreign soil they hardly ever venture further than their hotel pool. When they have their Kenyan holiday hijacked by the Maasai Mara tribespeople they are very upset to leave their luxury lodge for a hut made of cow dung and infested with cockroaches. But after a week experiencing life with this unique tribe and their culture, their own lives are changed for ever.
