Utani the mongoose is the first new character to make an appearance. His role is to act as babysitter for one of the mothers’ new pups and teach her everything he knows. He gets off to a bad start when he oversleeps on his first day on the job. Things go from bad to worse when he meets Duma and the cheetah family. He and his pup find themselves surrounded. Will the mongoose team come to their rescue?

Emmy-nominated series Serengeti returns to tell the next chapter in the story of our favourite animal characters as they navigate the highs and lows of life on the savannah. Drama and comedy abound as lovable new families join more familiar faces. Astonishing and unexpected stories play out against a dazzling lake full of flamingos, overlooked by towering rock kopjes. But paradise is fleeting. When an enormous fire rages across the plains all must flee or seek shelter, but who will survive? In the apocalyptic wasteland left behind, Bakari the baboon, Kali the lioness, and Mzuri the leopardess must draw upon all their resources to stay alive. New stories are told at the river, starring adorable baby hippo Mafuta and his arch nemesis, Magamba the crocodile. Unlikely friendships are formed while old rivalries are put to rest. Can Kali find peace at last with fearsome Askari? Can hapless babysitter Utani the mongoose keep his young charge out of trouble? When the dry season bites, can Nalla the elephant channel the wisdom of her ancestors to find a solution? Like never before, Serengeti III brings together our favourite animal cast in a dramatic tale of survival, heartbreak and redemption.
