Dan's game puts his camp in a power position; Gary's trek in scorching heat forces medics to intervene; for the first time ever, competitors face a night elimination; they must craft a primitive torch, using its light to build a figure-four trap.

An elimination challenge tests survivalists' bow-hunting and game-processing skills; when two camps secure warthogs, one quickly preserves its win; the other camp's meat spoils, making someone ill.

Gary and Dan take on a swarm of killer bees to chase a big food win; fighting an injury, Matt is forced to adapt and chase small prey; Cheeny is on the brink; the challenge is upended as pairs are split, and new factions are formed.

Territorial baboons mount a nocturnal attack, forcing survivalists to abandon their boma; competitors must craft a four-pronged spear to secure a catfish; a punishing challenge triggers an ambulance evacuation during an African heatwave.

Gary's food win is diminished when he falls ill after eating rotten meat; Fernando is in a power position after securing a critical tool; elephants and a storm threaten the camp; medics remove a survivalist from the competition.
