Hello! Or "Jambo" as we say here.

0:00:330:00:35

Welcome to the wide, grassy plains of Africa

0:00:360:00:40

and a very special place called the Masai Mara.

0:00:400:00:44

This is home to all of our little big cats,

0:00:450:00:49

and it's a land full of stories!

0:00:490:00:52

Being in a family is really important

0:00:520:00:55

to lots of the animals in Africa.

0:00:550:00:57

They always like to stick together!

0:00:570:01:00

Already, the elephant family are out for an early morning stroll.

0:01:000:01:05

The baboon family are gathering for their favourite morning exercise -

0:01:070:01:12

tree-climbing -

0:01:120:01:13

while the large mongoose family hide in a tree trunk.

0:01:130:01:17

The perfect place to spy on their neighbours!

0:01:170:01:20

I wonder which of our little big cats

0:01:230:01:25

would like to introduce us to their family today?

0:01:250:01:29

Will it be...

0:01:290:01:31

the lazy lions...

0:01:310:01:32

..the speedy cheetahs...

0:01:330:01:36

..or the lonesome leopards?

0:01:370:01:41

It's MY story!

0:01:440:01:47

It's Kumi's story!

0:01:480:01:50

Kumi the lion cub.

0:01:500:01:52

Jambo, Kumi!

0:01:530:01:55

Jambo!

0:01:550:01:56

I would like you to meet MY family.

0:01:580:02:01

We live here, in the Masai Mara.

0:02:010:02:04

And there are lots...and lots...

0:02:040:02:07

and lots and lots of us!

0:02:070:02:10

Sometimes, I try to count my family to practise my numbers.

0:02:110:02:16

I have...one, two,

0:02:170:02:21

three, four...

0:02:210:02:24

Oh! I wish they would stand still, I'm trying to count!

0:02:240:02:28

I'll start again.

0:02:280:02:30

One, two, three...

0:02:300:02:36

Oh! And her...

0:02:360:02:38

And them...and...

0:02:380:02:40

Oh, I've lost count again!

0:02:400:02:43

Anyway, there are lots and lots of us in my family.

0:02:430:02:46

All that counting has made me sleepy!

0:02:490:02:52

We always have a rest in the middle of the day, when the sun is so hot.

0:02:560:03:00

My aunties are snoring already!

0:03:020:03:06

But I prefer to roll in the grass, cooling off!

0:03:060:03:10

I get to spend a lot of time with my family...

0:03:110:03:14

..which I love!

0:03:150:03:18

This is my mama.

0:03:210:03:22

Mama Ishi.

0:03:220:03:24

She's great! But she's always trying to keep my face clean.

0:03:280:03:33

And behind my ears. Oh, Mama, stop it!

0:03:330:03:38

That tickles!

0:03:380:03:39

Oh, look, my aunties are waking up.

0:03:410:03:43

There's Auntie Sako.

0:03:450:03:47

And that's my auntie too...

0:03:470:03:49

I think!

0:03:490:03:50

Oh, you see, because that's another auntie

0:03:520:03:55

and it all gets so confusing!

0:03:550:03:58

I have a lot of aunties here.

0:03:580:04:00

But this...this is my dad.

0:04:040:04:09

I call him Baba!

0:04:090:04:12

He's so big and brave and strong and handsome!

0:04:140:04:20

And he has the biggest, softest, hairiest mane all around his face.

0:04:200:04:26

Bigger than any other lion's mane in the Masai Mara.

0:04:260:04:31

One day, I will look like him!

0:04:330:04:36

But I have a lot of growing to do first!

0:04:360:04:40

My baba is so old!

0:04:410:04:44

HE SQUEALS

0:04:440:04:45

Can I have a piggyback, please, Baba?

0:04:490:04:52

Just a quick one?

0:04:520:04:54

That baby baboon is getting a ride!

0:04:550:04:58

Wow! It's a good view from up here!

0:04:590:05:03

There's a family of big, lazy hippos.

0:05:030:05:06

My mama likes to laze around too...

0:05:090:05:11

..which isn't much fun for me.

0:05:120:05:14

I can't even chase her tail when she's lying down!

0:05:160:05:20

But hold on a minute. I have my own tail!

0:05:220:05:25

Wheeeeeee!

0:05:270:05:28

Wheeeeeee!

0:05:290:05:30

Oh...oh...

0:05:320:05:35

I feel a little bit dizzy!

0:05:350:05:37

I think that's enough of that.

0:05:370:05:39

Mmm. Who else is out playing?

0:05:400:05:43

There's the mongoose family, looking around as usual.

0:05:430:05:47

Mama says it's because they're nosy.

0:05:470:05:51

Everyone is with their family.

0:05:520:05:54

Just like me!

0:05:540:05:56

It looks like we're on the move!

0:05:590:06:01

Now it's not so hot, we can walk!

0:06:010:06:03

Come on, Baba, we'd better get going!

0:06:060:06:09

I'm always at the back!

0:06:120:06:14

My legs are so short, and I can't keep up!

0:06:140:06:18

But my family always wait for me to catch up.

0:06:210:06:25

And one day, I will have long legs too!

0:06:280:06:32

Some of the time, I just like to watch, and listen!

0:06:420:06:45

I look at my family, and learn from all the things I see.

0:06:450:06:49

Sometimes, Baba will give me roaring lessons.

0:06:520:06:55

BABA ROARS

0:06:550:06:58

His voice is so deep and strong, you can hear it for miles around!

0:07:000:07:05

ROARING IN DISTANCE

0:07:060:07:08

It lets the other animals know

0:07:080:07:11

that my baba is the king of the Masai Mara!

0:07:110:07:14

Baba says I have to practise my roar

0:07:170:07:20

if I want to be as loud and as scary as he is one day!

0:07:200:07:23

KUMI ROARS WEAKLY

0:07:230:07:25

I'm trying my hardest!

0:07:250:07:27

It's getting louder...

0:07:270:07:30

KUMI ROARS WEAKLY

0:07:300:07:32

..I think!

0:07:320:07:34

KUMI ROARS WEAKLY

0:07:370:07:40

One day, I'll be able to roar like my baba!

0:07:450:07:50

Right now, though, I'm happy just being young.

0:07:560:07:59

I get to play all day, and all of my family look out for me.

0:07:590:08:05

Kumi has a lot of growing to do

0:08:080:08:10

before he's as big and strong and loud as his dad!

0:08:100:08:14

But for now, he'll just enjoy long, happy days with his family.

0:08:140:08:20

And as the lazy lions get back to being lazy,

0:08:200:08:23

it's time for us to say goodbye...

0:08:230:08:27

"kwaheri"...

0:08:270:08:28

from the wide, grassy plains of Africa.

0:08:280:08:31

Goodbye, baboon!

0:08:330:08:34

Kwaheri, baboon!

0:08:340:08:37

Goodbye, mongoose!

0:08:370:08:40

Kwaheri, mongoose!

0:08:400:08:43

Goodbye, hippos!

0:08:440:08:47

Kwaheri, hippos!

0:08:470:08:49

Goodbye, lions!

0:08:490:08:52

Kwaheri, lions!

0:08:520:08:54

Oh, goodbye, Kumi!

0:08:550:08:58

Kwaheri!

0:08:580:09:00

Africa is a land full of stories.

0:09:010:09:04

Whose story will we hear next time?
