Many tales have been told of Africa.

But this is our story.

A drama set in the heart
of our world,

experienced as we
live and breathe it.

THUNDER CRASHES

Our land faces devastation.

We're not just fighting
amongst ourselves.

We're fighting the elements, too...

..while our young are born
into an uncertain future.

This is the next chapter
in our story

in a place they call Serengeti.

# Serengeti

# She is speaking

# Hear her... #

Our world has changed,
and we must change with it.

With the seasons in disarray,

floods have brought catastrophe
for Nalla's family.

But it's little Kadogo
who's washed away.

Only his mother can save him.

Nalla battles to save
the rest of the babies.

Kadogo is reached,

but they're far from safe.

Upstream, Nalla and her family
corral their young,

steering them to the shallows.

One by one, they're saved.

But not all made it back.

Nalla's sister is missing,

and so is little Kadogo.

Nalla must find them,
wherever they may be.

Forces far away caused the floods.

But it's our families
who suffer the consequences.

What seems like a refuge
can so easily become a trap.

Bakari and his troupe are marooned.

And still the waters rise.

SCREECHING

As leader, Bakari's duty
is to guide them to safety.

But how?

Bakari's solutions
are never predictable.

Cheka, the ruling female, follows

with their baby.

GRUNTING

Their adopted son is next.

As is the baboons' way,
each has a place in line.

In a hierarchy,
someone has to be last...

..a female deposed by Cheka
when Bakari became leader.

Bibi may have lost her position,
but she'll never be a follower.

Bibi's safe...

..but alone.

The zebra are picking their way
through the maze of new rivers.

Where Shani leads, her foal follows.

As does the rest of her family.

Punda, their stallion,
brings up the rear.

As leader, it falls on Shani
to find a way through.

But the current is strong...

..Punda powerless.

But he won't let her
out of his sight.

BRAYING

Relief is sweet.

But even sweeter,
her courage was not in vain.

She's found a safer way through.

For those bound to the land,
their world is shrinking.

Aiysha the cheetah has been forced
to higher ground.

Daughter to Kikay,
a celebrated huntress,

she now has a family of her own.

THUNDER CRASHES

But she's coaching her cubs
in unfamiliar territory.

Conditions are far from ideal.

But it won't deter Duma,
a cub too fearless for his own good.

For every difficulty,
an opportunity.

Rain can hinder her.

It can also conceal her.

While Duma is keen to help,
his sisters stay back.

He's never one
for following the rules.

Like staying hidden.

A humiliation for Duma.

Disappointment for his mother.

Somehow, she must
curb his enthusiasm.

The rain won't make her task
any easier.

Even without the floods,

keeping offspring alive
is every mother's preoccupation.

One of Kali's cubs was killed.

KALI CALLS

By whom, she may never know.

But two may have survived.

How can she find them
in a land that's unrecognisable?

Her pride lands
now belong to the hippos.

This is no time for hunting.

KALI CALLS

Gnu is safe today.

All Kali needs is a sign of life.

MEWING

Willing it doesn't make it so.

The enemy Aiysha fears the most.

GROWLING

Aiysha could outrun her.

THUNDER CRASHES

Her cubs can't.

She must tackle Kali another way.

Kali has dealt with many cheetahs.

But she's never been chased by one.

Duma is learning
the power of surprise.

Little by little,
Aiysha draws Kali away.

Today, Kali has
more pressing concerns...

..while Aiysha's cubs
have learned a valuable lesson.

For us all, the floods
have changed everything.

Life gathers
on what little land remains.

But for the leopards,
hunting has one small problem.

They don't like water.

Her cubs haven't seen rain before.

Their mother hasn't seen
quite so much.

But Mzuri has a plan.

Climb a tree.

And sit it out.

Nalla's family
has searched tirelessly

for her sister and Kadogo.

They'll never give up.

But the youngsters
are exhausted and thirsty.

They aren't the only ones
displaced by the floods.

A crocodile, left behind
when the floods subsided.

TRUMPETING

Nalla has the wisdom of her years.

But nothing could
prepare her for this.

Thirst unquenched, the search
for their loved ones continues.

Bakari's troupe are still picking
their way through the flooded land.

# Don't hold it

# Let's just thrive in the moment

# Easy

# While you can

# Spend your life on what's golden

# Through your hearts' union

# And go through your heart... #

While Cheka looks after
their baby...

..Bakari takes care of their son.

He's now old enough
to swim on his own.

But you don't know you're in deep
till you're in deep.

And the current's strong.

HE CALLS OUT

ANSWERING CALL

He has his father's determination.

And if he can do it,
so can the others.

Every adventure feeds an appetite.

And the water lilies are blooming.

The buds are a feast for all.

But there's one who's missing out.

Bibi, the female they left behind.

As leader, Bakari has
pick of the bunch.

Cheka, too, is enjoying
her privileges.

It's not the best time
for Bibi to arrive.

The troupe who once fawned over her
haven't left her a scrap.

Or, rather, Cheka hasn't.

For Bibi,
it's a provocation too far.

SHE CALLS OUT

SCREECHING

This time, Bakari tries
to ignore it,

but it's a grudge
that's not going away.

The flood has drawn
some of the hyenas back together...

..a chance for Zalika and some of
her clan to meet once more.

But with cubs to feed,
the reunion is brief.

The wildebeest
are in a playful mood.

Gnu is gaining in confidence.

But with confidence comes
a thirst for adventure.

A chance to meet the neighbours!

Shani and her foal
are just as unfriendly.

Gnu doesn't belong here.

He doesn't seem to belong anywhere.

There's only one place
he should really be.

But his mother is lost in the crowd.

THUNDER CRASHES

It's not the time to be alone.

But it is the time for hunters.

Then, the sight that could save him.

Much to Zalika's frustration.

Here, young learn life lessons
the hard way.

A mistake survived
is never forgotten.

The world around us is changing.

And it's happening
faster than ever before.

The leopards sat out the rain.

But they can't stay hungry forever.

As the floods subside,
their hunting grounds re-emerge.

YOWLING

It's a chance for her cubs
to resume their lessons.

Today, they're learning stealth.

But keeping still
doesn't come easy to the young.

Neither does patience.

How hard can hunting be?

They seem easy to reach.

But guinea fowl have
a trick of their own.

Meanwhile, they've missed
an important lesson.

How to catch an impala.

The cubs have more to learn.

What to do with their bounty?

For now, why bother?
There's a far easier meal to enjoy.

Not all are so fortunate.

Kali's cubs are still missing.

She's in unfamiliar territory,
far above the pride lands.

Here, buffalo reign.

And Kali's alone.

The buffalo are in no hurry.

One slip
and she'll be gored to death.

It was close,
and it was also a warning.

Searching for her cubs
is too dangerous on her own.

Shani's family have reached safety
in the highlands.

But so have others.

A band of young stallions
out to seize a female.

This time, they come in force.

Punda is outnumbered.

But he'll do whatever it takes.

Anything to protect
Shani and her foal.

Shani gets her chance to escape.

But Punda is overwhelmed.

He can only take on one at a time.

A chance for the others
to make their move.

They separate a female
from his herd.

Punda fights on.

But the mare is taken.

There was nothing more he could do.

Loss can be painful, but for
all of us it goes with being alive.

Aiysha's cubs are changing fast.

And their appetites are growing.

For now, Gnu would be perfect.

But he now knows where to hide.

Duma has learned
few outrun a cheetah,

but speed comes
at the expense of strength.

And the cubs are vulnerable.

But Aiysha has courage, too.

Anything his mother does,
Duma believes he can do, too.

But courage is also
knowing when not to fight...

..which is not exciting enough
for Duma.

He prefers to be brave.

One day, he'll be frightened too.

ZUMA MEOWS

It was a good effort from Duma.

But today's star student is Gnu.

Nalla's desperate search continues.

A whisper on the breeze
is all they need.

At last, the wind brings hope.

The scent is getting stronger.

But where will it lead?

As the land drains,
the baboons can stop travelling.

As usual, Bakari stays on duty.

As Cheka is revered...

..befriending the lead female is
a way to move up the pecking order.

Doting on her baby
is also a good ploy.

But Cheka's protective.

She has good reason.

Bibi once tried to steal her baby.

If she tried before,
she might again.

Attacking Cheka
only made her an outcast.

It could all change
if she could win over Bakari.

He rejected her before.

Nothing's changed.

But perhaps she gave up too easily.

Cheka's position is starting
to look precarious.

THUNDER RUMBLES

The cheetah cubs are learning fast.

Even Duma.

THUNDER CRASHES

But cheetahs can't always
keep their catch.

THUNDER CRASHES

Male cheetahs hunt together.

Today, Aiysha has done
their work for them.

She's no match for them, but
she'll fight to keep her cubs' meal.

SHE HISSES

All is not as it seems.

A scent remembered
from days at their mother's side.

A bond that's still unbroken.

MEWING

Aiysha left her brothers
to live alone, as sisters do.

Alone is how they'll leave her.

Duma is learning
the hardest lesson of all -

everything must change.

One day, he too will leave
his mother to hunt with other males.

These moments are precious.

She and her offspring
won't be together forever.

THUNDER CRASHES

Kali can search alone
for her cubs no more.

She's returned to where
she should find protection.

But will she find help?

Her sister is reassuring.

But there's more.

Her cubs have found
their own way back to the pride.

Not all are so welcoming.

But her misgivings
around Sefu will wait.

For now, it's a reunion to savour.

To be back with those we cherish
is to be back where we belong.

Nalla and her family are nearing
the end of their search.

The trail was true...

..but the reunion cruel.

In a sisterhood of unbreakable kin,

she was Nalla's dearest.

In our land,
death is a familiar companion.

And some deaths bring us together.

From across the plains,

the great elephant families arrive
to show their respects.

For a brief moment,
grief unites them all.

However hard, we must all accept
change and embrace the future.

As is the way of our world, what
remains now sustains the living.

Nalla found her sister too late,

but Kadogo may still be out there.

If he is, they WILL find him.

But is there hope on the horizon?

Our land may recover and renew.

But nothing will be the same.

New neighbours move in.

Grudges deepen.

And old enemies return.
