<P> Sarabi (voiced by Madge Sinclair) is Mufasa's wife and Simba's mother . Her name means "mirage" in Swahili . In The Lion King, she serves as the Queen of Pride Rock . Years after Scar usurps the throne, Sarabi helps Simba fight against Scar and his hyenas . When Simba defeats Scar, Nala becomes queen in Sarabi's place . </P> <P> Zazu (voiced by Rowan Atkinson in The Lion King, Edward Hibbert in Timon & Pumbaa, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and The Lion King 11⁄2, and Jeff Bennett in The Lion Guard) is a red - billed hornbill and majordomo to Mufasa and later Simba . After Mufasa's death, Zazu becomes a prisoner of Scar before Pumbaa releases him when Simba returns to the Pride Lands . He eventually acts as a scout and advises Simba on royal protocol . In the musical, Zazu is a puppet controlled by an actor dressed in blue striped clothes and a bowler hat, much like a stereotypical butler . Zazu's blue feathers have been replaced with white and the puppet is partially constructed from parachute silk with a slinky contained in the neck for ease in movement . </P> <P> Rafiki (voiced by Robert Guillaume in the films and Timon & Pumbaa and Khary Payton in The Lion Guard), whose name means "friend" in Swahili, is a mandrill with an unnaturally long tail .

During the film, Rafiki sings a nonsense chant: "Asante sana, squash banana, wewe nugu, mimi hapana ." This is a Swahili playground rhyme which translates to "Thank you very much (squash banana), you're a baboon and I'm not!" Like "hakuna matata" (no worries), the chant was heard by the filmmakers on their research trip to Kenya . Rafiki travels to the jungle where Simba lives with Timon and Pumbaa, and teaches him lessons about learning from the past . During the battle for Pride Rock, Rafiki saves Simba from a hyena . At the end of the film, Rafiki presents Simba and Nala's newborn cub . </P>
