Villain Ball | |
| Serengeti / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: The Baboon Troop's leader. He is so aggressive and reckless that the troop is terrified of him. He picks fights just to prove he is the boss, and Bakari is often at the receiving end. However, if he was more benevolent then the troop would have had his back, and his behavior may have contributed to his ultimate death. This is first seen with the crocodile where he almost gets eaten and no one warns him of the danger. | |

Taught by Experience | |
| Serengeti / int_26beee71 | comment |
Taught by Experience: How a lot of the younger members of the cast have to learn their survival skills. Gnu, the wildebeest calf, is only a few minutes old but he has to master standing and then running in order to avoid becoming a meal for Zalika. In the same episode, the young leopard cubs, Mzuri and Dada, have to master climbing or else they too would be at risk of death from Zalika. | |

Sink or Swim Fatherhood | |
| Serengeti / int_27f7abfb | comment |
Sink or Swim Fatherhood: Bakari didn't realise how hard raising a baby baboon would be when he adopted Sabira's baby with the baby getting into all kinds of trouble and Bakari suffering the troop leader's wrath. Thankfully, Chika comes along and helps him parent. | |

Narrative-Driven Nature Documentary | |
| Serengeti / int_476cfd95 | comment |
Narrative-Driven Nature Documentary: Serengeti focuses on one year in the lives of several animals living in the Serengeti. It features both predator and prey animals, which means there aren't any "bad guy" characters. | |

Narrator | |
| Serengeti / int_52989fee | comment |
Narrator: Lupita Nyong'o narrates the American version of the series. She lived relatively near to the Serengeti, so she easily took the casting. The UK version of the series is narrated instead by John Boyega | |

Predation Is Natural: The series focuses on both prey animals and their predators. No species is presented as an antagonist; they're all just animals trying to survive. | |

Monster Is a Mommy: The crocodile is this. For the whole episode she is painted as a threat to anyone who comes near the river, especially Shani and Bakari, but in the end she was only doing what was necessary to survive and protect her nest and hatchlings. | |
