Hallmark Channel’s Love Around the World marathon schedule

Reserved Chicago web designer Kira Slaters plans to take a relaxing vacation in Scottsdale is derailed when she learns she has inherited Ukuthula, a beautiful animal reserve in South Africa and must travel there for the reading of the will. Upon her arrival, she meets the handsome park ranger Tom who is the exact opposite of her steady (and bland) accountant boyfriend. Along with Tom and Ally, the reserves other ranger, Kira explores Ukuthula along with its majestic animals: zebras, giraffes, hippos and elephants, and she unexpectedly begins to not only fall in love with Ukuthula, but with Tom as well. Kira is conflicted and faced with a difficult decision: either sell the reserve to a ruthless competitor which would not only jeopardize Ukuthulas future, but also the livelihood of the dedicated local villagers who work there and the well-being of the animals who live there, or leave the safety of her life in Chicago and risk everything for this new world.
