1
00:00:22,758 --> 00:00:25,827
Many tales
have been told of Africa.
2
00:00:28,586 --> 00:00:31,517
But this is our story,
3
00:00:31,551 --> 00:00:35,758
-a drama set in the heart
of our world.
4
00:00:36,793 --> 00:00:40,034
Experienced as we live
and breathe it.
5
00:00:43,413 --> 00:00:47,310
-Our land faced devastation.
6
00:00:50,241 --> 00:00:52,241
All our lives were at risk.
7
00:00:55,275 --> 00:00:57,482
Each of us faced tragedy.
8
00:01:01,413 --> 00:01:04,000
Now, we're fighting
for those who survive.
9
00:01:06,172 --> 00:01:09,206
This is the next chapter
in our story
10
00:01:09,241 --> 00:01:12,620
in a place
they call Serengeti.
11
00:01:12,655 --> 00:01:16,793
♪ Serengeti ♪
12
00:01:17,551 --> 00:01:22,172
♪ Serengeti ♪
13
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,517
It's an inescapable truth
that all we love
must one day be lost.
14
00:02:05,482 --> 00:02:10,137
The great elephant herds
have gathered to mourn
the death of Nalla's sister.
15
00:02:13,275 --> 00:02:17,034
But her sister's baby Kadogo
is missing.
16
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,241
If he survived,
Nalla will find him.
17
00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:43,931
The wind carries clues
for those who can read them.
18
00:03:13,586 --> 00:03:18,034
Little Kadogo stayed
with his mother,
even to the end.
19
00:03:22,793 --> 00:03:26,172
Nalla comforts him as best
she can.
20
00:03:31,793 --> 00:03:33,896
As will her family.
21
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Nalla couldn't save
her sister, but she will
save Kadogo
22
00:04:16,965 --> 00:04:20,137
and raise him as her own.
23
00:04:28,965 --> 00:04:32,344
For now, relief brings rest.
24
00:04:52,379 --> 00:04:58,000
He will sleep easy secure
in his family's comforting
embrace.
25
00:05:16,379 --> 00:05:21,724
Our land once lost
to the floods is showing
signs of renewal.
26
00:05:25,241 --> 00:05:28,034
The jackals Shavu and Shaba
27
00:05:28,068 --> 00:05:30,689
are among the new arrivals.
28
00:05:38,758 --> 00:05:43,586
For them, what was a tragedy
is now an opportunity.
29
00:05:46,206 --> 00:05:50,379
Here, survival means
no life ever goes to waste.
30
00:05:51,965 --> 00:05:54,379
But they have competition...
31
00:05:57,862 --> 00:06:00,931
and vultures aren't shy
of confrontation.
32
00:06:03,793 --> 00:06:05,689
Neither are jackals.
33
00:06:08,793 --> 00:06:11,206
There's more than enough
to go around.
34
00:06:11,241 --> 00:06:13,241
But that's not the point.
35
00:06:39,689 --> 00:06:43,172
Quarrelling is a jackal's
favorite pastime.
36
00:07:03,551 --> 00:07:05,241
When you're preoccupied,
37
00:07:05,275 --> 00:07:07,758
it's easy to forget
what you came for.
38
00:07:13,827 --> 00:07:16,965
And here, it's wise
to eat quickly.
39
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,310
Hyenas, too, will never miss
a feast.
40
00:07:28,034 --> 00:07:31,172
On her own,
she's little threat.
41
00:07:38,344 --> 00:07:41,724
But she's no longer
on her own.
42
00:07:47,103 --> 00:07:50,310
The floods brought Zalika's
clan back together.
43
00:07:52,344 --> 00:07:55,310
Together, they're
a formidable enemy.
44
00:08:09,965 --> 00:08:12,103
When the battle can't be won.
45
00:08:14,517 --> 00:08:16,448
There's no shame in retreat.
46
00:08:24,206 --> 00:08:28,310
Anyway, they have more
than themselves
to worry about.
47
00:08:36,931 --> 00:08:40,000
Shavu and Shaba
are new parents
48
00:08:40,034 --> 00:08:42,034
with all that entails.
49
00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:56,758
Like all parents before,
they must somehow turn
50
00:08:56,793 --> 00:08:59,655
the innocent
into the independent.
51
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:08,482
For now, Shavu devotes
herself to their care.
52
00:09:10,379 --> 00:09:13,586
While Shaba stands guard.
53
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:21,517
It's a partnership
that will last a lifetime.
54
00:09:33,517 --> 00:09:38,034
The bond between the land
and the living moves
ever onwards.
55
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,517
After the deluge,
rebirth brings renewal.
56
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,862
And with it, hope.
57
00:10:05,448 --> 00:10:08,758
But hope can seed ambition.
58
00:10:13,517 --> 00:10:17,103
Bakari is at the center
of a growing feud.
59
00:10:21,275 --> 00:10:26,103
Cheka, his favorite female
has been very affectionate
lately.
60
00:10:29,689 --> 00:10:34,000
Ever since Bakari enjoyed
the attentions of her rival.
61
00:10:47,068 --> 00:10:50,034
Bibi is no ordinary rival.
62
00:10:56,965 --> 00:10:59,206
She was once
the lead female...
63
00:11:03,931 --> 00:11:06,034
and was deposed by Cheka
64
00:11:06,068 --> 00:11:08,172
when Bakari took over
the troop.
65
00:11:20,758 --> 00:11:23,586
Cheka mustn't overreact.
66
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:25,655
But she can give a warning.
67
00:11:38,103 --> 00:11:41,068
While Bakari basks
in the attention,
68
00:11:41,103 --> 00:11:45,448
the rivalry between
the females can only grow.
69
00:11:56,827 --> 00:12:00,724
Kali, survivor of grief
and exile is now back
70
00:12:00,758 --> 00:12:02,586
in the safety of the pride.
71
00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:06,379
But Sephu
is still bothering her.
72
00:12:13,344 --> 00:12:15,724
There's only two ways
to appease Sephu.
73
00:12:17,068 --> 00:12:19,448
The other is with a meal.
74
00:12:30,517 --> 00:12:33,206
Bakari's duty is to face
the threat.
75
00:12:43,793 --> 00:12:47,034
Being leader means
being last to safety.
76
00:12:50,827 --> 00:12:52,620
Facing the unthinkable...
77
00:13:00,965 --> 00:13:05,000
and seeming brave
when scared.
78
00:13:20,931 --> 00:13:24,310
For the young and afraid,
there's just one place to be.
79
00:13:45,689 --> 00:13:48,241
Bakari has led his troop
out of reach.
80
00:13:55,827 --> 00:13:58,034
And Kali into danger.
81
00:14:04,413 --> 00:14:07,137
Now, it's Kali who's
on the back foot.
82
00:14:27,517 --> 00:14:30,034
Today, effort wasn't rewarded.
83
00:14:32,931 --> 00:14:34,655
Courage was.
84
00:14:38,137 --> 00:14:41,000
Although Bakari has seen
off one problem,
85
00:14:43,965 --> 00:14:46,689
he has a far bigger one
brewing.
86
00:14:52,482 --> 00:14:56,551
Meanwhile,
our land's renewal continues.
87
00:15:36,655 --> 00:15:40,000
The leopard cubs are growing
and learning fast.
88
00:15:43,344 --> 00:15:46,103
It's time to be weaned off
mother's milk.
89
00:15:53,206 --> 00:15:56,896
She just has to find something
to tempt them.
90
00:16:29,586 --> 00:16:31,931
A hare would be perfect.
91
00:16:38,241 --> 00:16:41,379
And a chance to show them
how to catch one too.
92
00:17:13,172 --> 00:17:15,000
Or perhaps not.
93
00:17:20,206 --> 00:17:21,931
How hard can it be?
94
00:18:28,862 --> 00:18:31,689
It's not just mongoose
that hide in termite mounds,
95
00:18:32,344 --> 00:18:34,034
so do hares.
96
00:18:35,827 --> 00:18:39,241
-A second chance for mother.
97
00:18:41,275 --> 00:18:43,931
For once, the cubs
did something right.
98
00:18:52,827 --> 00:18:55,758
For Nzui, it's her first taste
of meat.
99
00:19:02,206 --> 00:19:04,724
But Dada isn't so sure.
100
00:19:07,068 --> 00:19:10,000
Their mother lets them go
at their own pace.
101
00:19:14,172 --> 00:19:16,517
But there'll be some
catching up to do.
102
00:19:45,137 --> 00:19:47,655
All mothers face
the same dilemma.
103
00:19:47,689 --> 00:19:50,793
When to indulge
and when to be tough.
104
00:19:52,551 --> 00:19:54,724
Aisha favors discipline,
105
00:19:56,241 --> 00:19:57,793
she needs to with Duma.
106
00:20:06,689 --> 00:20:09,206
He's ready to take
on anything.
107
00:20:18,517 --> 00:20:20,517
Well, almost anything.
108
00:20:23,758 --> 00:20:26,827
And he's always ready
to lead his sisters astray.
109
00:20:41,344 --> 00:20:45,000
Quiet concentration
is what's needed.
110
00:21:20,551 --> 00:21:22,586
They aren't learning
fast enough.
111
00:21:23,586 --> 00:21:27,000
By now they should be
a help, not a hindrance.
112
00:21:34,137 --> 00:21:37,379
But maybe there's
a second chance.
113
00:22:17,068 --> 00:22:18,827
They've learned stealth.
114
00:22:19,482 --> 00:22:21,551
Now, speed.
115
00:22:49,206 --> 00:22:51,103
Today's lesson is complete.
116
00:22:52,482 --> 00:22:56,068
And for cheetahs,
tough love pays.
117
00:23:07,655 --> 00:23:10,344
Shaba is standing guard.
118
00:23:10,379 --> 00:23:14,172
While Shavu enjoys
the early days of innocence.
119
00:23:20,413 --> 00:23:22,482
Jackals work as a team.
120
00:23:31,448 --> 00:23:33,034
Something's up.
121
00:23:41,448 --> 00:23:44,034
Or so their senses tell them.
122
00:23:49,758 --> 00:23:52,344
While they follow their nose
and ears,
123
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:58,793
their pups hole up
from prying eyes.
124
00:24:11,758 --> 00:24:14,551
Their senses rarely
fail them.
125
00:24:21,862 --> 00:24:24,827
Pilfering requires
different skills.
126
00:24:29,344 --> 00:24:32,068
Aisha knows the ways
of jackals.
127
00:24:34,965 --> 00:24:37,206
Her cubs have yet to learn.
128
00:24:45,551 --> 00:24:48,310
-Give them a warning.
129
00:24:49,413 --> 00:24:51,103
-Show you mean it.
130
00:25:03,931 --> 00:25:05,827
Then head for cover.
131
00:25:13,827 --> 00:25:16,551
For Duma, another chance
to be brave.
132
00:25:25,413 --> 00:25:27,586
It's a promising start,
133
00:25:27,620 --> 00:25:30,724
-but that was just
the first round.
134
00:25:49,241 --> 00:25:51,724
Jackals play the long game.
135
00:26:01,586 --> 00:26:04,137
She'll let him learn
the hard way.
136
00:26:19,724 --> 00:26:22,344
While Dumo was busy
being brave,
137
00:26:22,379 --> 00:26:24,586
the rest have had his share.
138
00:26:27,793 --> 00:26:30,000
Another hard-earned lesson.
139
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,758
One last stand for Duma.
140
00:26:44,896 --> 00:26:47,689
And just a scrap
for all his troubles.
141
00:26:50,551 --> 00:26:53,586
Shaba and Shavu get
what they came for.
142
00:26:56,137 --> 00:26:58,137
Jackals usually do.
143
00:27:12,172 --> 00:27:14,310
Life is blossoming
144
00:27:15,862 --> 00:27:18,965
as our land repairs
what the floods destroyed.
145
00:27:38,931 --> 00:27:42,344
For Kali, a brief moment
of calm.
146
00:27:44,965 --> 00:27:46,827
Sephu is sleeping.
147
00:27:50,620 --> 00:27:53,724
A chance to reconnect
with those she's closest to.
148
00:28:01,068 --> 00:28:04,896
But feeding the family
is a never ending task.
149
00:28:22,586 --> 00:28:26,103
It's only a morsel,
hardly enough even
for her cubs.
150
00:28:30,862 --> 00:28:33,517
Everyone wants a share.
151
00:28:33,551 --> 00:28:36,172
But there are too many
mouths to feed.
152
00:28:41,379 --> 00:28:43,137
Now it's a free for all.
153
00:28:50,413 --> 00:28:52,517
One Kali will rise above.
154
00:29:00,724 --> 00:29:03,620
Sephu's awake
and demanding his share.
155
00:29:14,931 --> 00:29:16,379
And not just settle.
156
00:29:21,793 --> 00:29:23,896
Enough is enough.
157
00:29:26,724 --> 00:29:29,517
The pride is breaking
itself apart.
158
00:29:32,379 --> 00:29:35,068
Let them fight amongst
themselves.
159
00:29:35,103 --> 00:29:38,724
Kali and her closest
companions won't be
coming back.
160
00:29:50,137 --> 00:29:53,000
Only the bold embrace change.
161
00:29:56,931 --> 00:30:00,000
And our land is changing
faster than ever.
162
00:30:05,379 --> 00:30:08,586
But repair and renewal
take time.
163
00:30:19,896 --> 00:30:23,413
Like all of us, hyenas
have their part to play.
164
00:30:25,413 --> 00:30:28,724
Theirs is to return
what's died to the land.
165
00:30:36,413 --> 00:30:38,206
It may be their calling.
166
00:30:38,241 --> 00:30:40,793
But for the elephants,
it's sacrilege.
167
00:31:15,620 --> 00:31:20,068
Nalla has brought her family
back to pay their last
respects.
168
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,206
Among them is little Kadogo.
169
00:31:51,275 --> 00:31:54,827
To Nalla, his mother
was her closest companion.
170
00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:10,827
To Kadogo, she was everything.
171
00:32:57,724 --> 00:33:00,517
Kadogo's life
has changed forever.
172
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,655
But he'll have a whole
extended family to care
for him.
173
00:33:17,275 --> 00:33:21,206
Being an elephant means
never walking alone.
174
00:33:49,896 --> 00:33:51,551
For the hyenas,
175
00:33:51,586 --> 00:33:53,413
there's always another meal.
176
00:33:57,310 --> 00:34:00,310
And Zalika knows just
where to find it.
177
00:34:33,206 --> 00:34:37,000
Where hyenas have cunning,
leopards have strength.
178
00:34:55,275 --> 00:34:58,137
Some meals challenge
even the strongest.
179
00:35:05,689 --> 00:35:07,931
Not quite what she was after.
180
00:35:08,827 --> 00:35:11,034
But where that came from,
181
00:35:11,068 --> 00:35:12,620
there may be more.
182
00:36:08,896 --> 00:36:11,103
She'll let her cubs
feed first,
183
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,206
-which is just what Zalika
was waiting for.
184
00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:34,931
-A scrap lost...
185
00:36:34,965 --> 00:36:36,896
is a lesson learned.
186
00:37:04,241 --> 00:37:07,793
As our land heals,
new life emerges.
187
00:37:14,344 --> 00:37:16,517
The termites are swarming.
188
00:37:24,586 --> 00:37:27,275
A rare treat for the baboons.
189
00:37:33,241 --> 00:37:34,931
A feast for Bakari...
190
00:37:37,965 --> 00:37:39,655
and Cheka too.
191
00:37:49,482 --> 00:37:51,275
While their parents indulge,
192
00:37:51,310 --> 00:37:53,827
the youngsters
entertain themselves.
193
00:38:01,172 --> 00:38:05,689
But Cheka's rival,
Bibi, has her sights
on a bigger prize.
194
00:38:09,310 --> 00:38:12,413
To restore the position
she previously held.
195
00:38:16,586 --> 00:38:19,862
Now even Cheka's baby
ranks higher than she does.
196
00:38:44,724 --> 00:38:48,448
Bibi continues to ingratiate
herself to Bakari.
197
00:39:05,655 --> 00:39:08,620
She won't let anyone
get in the way.
198
00:39:19,068 --> 00:39:20,724
It's brazen,
199
00:39:20,758 --> 00:39:22,586
but what can Cheka do.
200
00:39:28,896 --> 00:39:31,758
Is she about to lose Bakari?
201
00:39:39,896 --> 00:39:43,551
For Aisha and her cubs,
lessons continue.
202
00:39:44,758 --> 00:39:47,413
Duma is as keen as ever.
203
00:40:01,689 --> 00:40:04,241
But has something changed?
204
00:40:40,896 --> 00:40:43,172
It's what Duma
was waiting for.
205
00:40:44,344 --> 00:40:46,724
A chance to get involved.
206
00:40:58,620 --> 00:41:00,827
Team work at its best.
207
00:41:05,793 --> 00:41:09,931
From being a liability.
The cubs are now an asset.
208
00:41:15,793 --> 00:41:19,068
Aisha's training is finally
yielding results.
209
00:41:20,827 --> 00:41:24,103
As her cubs grow along
with their appetites,
210
00:41:24,137 --> 00:41:26,724
she'll need all the help
they can give.
211
00:41:43,965 --> 00:41:48,689
Among the elephants,
there's one who's made
the journey to independence.
212
00:41:53,034 --> 00:41:56,000
But family ties have brought
him back.
213
00:42:06,034 --> 00:42:10,551
Tembo, Nalla's son
left the family
when he came of age.
214
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,517
Alone, he contemplates
his aunt's remains.
215
00:42:23,862 --> 00:42:26,965
He finds his own way
to accept her passing.
216
00:43:31,862 --> 00:43:34,000
It's another part
of his past
217
00:43:34,034 --> 00:43:35,896
he can now let go.
218
00:43:53,827 --> 00:43:57,034
We can't always choose
what we leave behind.
219
00:44:01,724 --> 00:44:04,793
The past has a way
of returning to haunt us.
220
00:44:06,793 --> 00:44:10,137
The feared black maned males
are back.
221
00:44:12,586 --> 00:44:14,827
The flood took away
their land.
222
00:44:18,689 --> 00:44:21,137
Now they're after
the Pridelands.
223
00:44:31,862 --> 00:44:34,793
First, they face
the treacherous river.
224
00:44:44,103 --> 00:44:46,137
And those who lurk within.
225
00:45:56,689 --> 00:46:00,034
Even the fiercest fear
the black maned males.
226
00:46:07,482 --> 00:46:10,689
And there are plenty more
who should be afraid.
227
00:47:09,137 --> 00:47:13,379
Despite appearances,
Cheka's family is in crisis.
228
00:47:15,862 --> 00:47:19,793
Her rival Bibi appears
to have been accepted
by Bakari.
229
00:47:29,310 --> 00:47:33,517
So when she offers to babysit,
Cheka can't object.
230
00:47:40,413 --> 00:47:42,448
Her son can.
231
00:47:54,034 --> 00:47:56,827
Innocent eyes see
what others can't.
232
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,862
Her show of motherly care
is an act.
233
00:48:17,896 --> 00:48:20,275
But truth will out.
234
00:48:29,689 --> 00:48:32,172
No one likes being exposed.
235
00:48:36,931 --> 00:48:39,000
Especially by an upstart.
236
00:48:46,862 --> 00:48:50,862
For Bakari, attacking his son
is the ultimate violation.
237
00:48:56,862 --> 00:48:59,344
A mistake
that can't be undone.
238
00:49:10,793 --> 00:49:14,758
Cheka's position
now seems secure.
239
00:49:14,793 --> 00:49:19,655
But forced out,
Bibi may be more
dangerous than ever.
240
00:49:31,724 --> 00:49:35,655
After the rains, army ants
are on the march.
241
00:49:49,758 --> 00:49:52,068
Everyone gets out
of their way.
242
00:50:13,965 --> 00:50:16,103
It's not the time for a nap.
243
00:50:26,620 --> 00:50:30,931
When their way is blocked.
All they have to do is bite.
244
00:50:46,517 --> 00:50:48,965
And keep biting.
245
00:51:23,206 --> 00:51:25,724
This army stops
for no one.
246
00:51:26,793 --> 00:51:30,241
They'll march on
until they find a home.
247
00:51:44,413 --> 00:51:46,689
With their own young
to care for.
248
00:51:46,724 --> 00:51:49,310
They'll need somewhere safe
and secure.
249
00:51:57,655 --> 00:52:00,379
The jackals' burrow
is perfect.
250
00:52:07,586 --> 00:52:11,344
But first, they must evict
the residents.
251
00:52:21,931 --> 00:52:26,551
They just have to make life
as uncomfortable as they can.
252
00:52:27,655 --> 00:52:32,862
And an army can make life
very uncomfortable indeed.
253
00:52:48,689 --> 00:52:53,137
When acquiring a home,
ants always win.
254
00:53:03,896 --> 00:53:06,448
Shavu and Shaba
have returned.
255
00:53:09,827 --> 00:53:11,655
Instead of a greeting,
256
00:53:11,689 --> 00:53:13,862
there's a deathly silence.
257
00:53:16,689 --> 00:53:19,862
A dreadful sound
for any parent.
258
00:53:32,655 --> 00:53:36,275
The pups must be out
there somewhere.
259
00:53:39,931 --> 00:53:42,965
Vulnerable and alone.
260
00:53:50,517 --> 00:53:55,482
In this vast wilderness,
how will they ever find them?
261
00:54:00,827 --> 00:54:03,724
We all have our own battles
to fight.
262
00:54:05,758 --> 00:54:09,344
When Kali led her loyal band
to find a new life,
263
00:54:09,379 --> 00:54:11,827
they left on empty stomachs.
264
00:54:24,793 --> 00:54:27,172
With a hungry family to feed,
265
00:54:27,206 --> 00:54:30,379
Kali is never too proud
to scavenge.
266
00:54:35,448 --> 00:54:37,793
Kali must make sure it's safe.
267
00:54:45,862 --> 00:54:49,000
There's no such thing
as a free meal.
268
00:55:07,344 --> 00:55:09,034
Her cubs stay back.
269
00:55:09,068 --> 00:55:12,896
Whoever felled this giant
may still be out there.
270
00:55:26,620 --> 00:55:28,862
Kali keeps watch.
271
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,413
She's also being watched.
