Big Cat Country

After the dry season lowers the waters, siblings Kimba and Maya risk crossing the river to search for their parents; they run the gauntlet of the densest populations of crocs and hippos in Africa.

During the last few weeks of the dry season, the prides stick close to the only available water in the river; in Luangwa, the scent of a hippo kill compels the Hollywoods to cross the river.

The dry season is approaching its end, and the MK pride faces its toughest moment yet; their matriarch and best hunter, Surabi, is gored by a buffalo and her survival hangs in the balance; one of the youngest members of the pride is lost and alone.
