The savannah’s animals gather each year as the great rains flood the plains, preparing for the inevitable deluge. In this seasonal routine, Giggles and Tickles are appointed to keep watch, monitoring the landscape for safety while the nearby waters rise.

The Story of the Great Rains is an episode‑type programme that centres on life in the African savannah. It presents a snapshot of the natural world as the season of heavy downpours approaches, a period that regularly turns the flat plains into flooded terrain. In this installment the focus falls on the animals as they ready themselves for the annual deluge. Each year the great rains swell the low‑lying grasslands, and the creatures of the savannah must make preparations to cope with the rising waters. Overseeing this effort are two characters, Giggles and Tickles, who are tasked with keeping a vigilant watch as the weather changes. Giggles and Tickles act as the eyes and ears of the community, ensuring that any sign of the incoming flood is spotted early. Their role is to monitor the environment and alert the other animals, helping the whole group stay one step ahead of the inevitable inundation. The episode therefore paints a picture of collective anticipation, with the savannah’s inhabitants united by the predictable rhythm of the great rains. By following Giggles and Tickles’ watchful duties, viewers get a sense of how the ecosystem adapts each year to the flooding that reshapes the plains.
