With food in abundance, it's the time of plenty in the Serengeti, but a series of unexpected events turns families against each other and stretches relationships to breaking point.

As the Serengeti starts to dry out, competition heats up between the families. The strong females take centre stage, dealing with headstrong males and fighting for the survival of their kin.

The anticipation of the annual Great Migration is felt by all of the Serengeti's families, as they wait with great desperation for it to arrive; the land continues to get hotter and hunger starts to bite, as food becomes even more scarce.

The long-awaited arrival of the Great Migration brings opportunities and food in abundance, but it also increases conflict as every one of the Serengeti's families is put to the test.

The dry season is now upon the animals of the Serengeti, and while it turns the waterhole into a death trap for the herds, for others this season is a gift.

It's time to close another chapter in the lives of the animals of the Serengeti. First, all around is a blackened wasteland, the aftermath of the huge fire.
