Assisting Beshte

Beshte chats with Mbeya at the watering hole.
While searching for Flat Ridge Rock, Beshte got the idea to ask Mbeya for directions. Together, the Lion Guard journeyed to the watering hole, where Beshte talked to Mbeya. Meanwhile, the rest of the Lion Guard waited on the edge of the water. Eventually, the friends grew impatient and insisted that Beshte wrap up his conversation. Realizing that he had forgotten to ask about Flat Ridge Rock, Beshte went back and asked Mbeya for directions. The old rhinoceros pointed Beshte in the right direction.[2]

Savannah Summit
| “ | ” |
Mbeya argues with the baboon leader.
Mbeya was invited by Simba to participate in the Savannah Summit. He proceeded to Mizimu Grove for the event along with all the other invited animal leaders.
Later, Mbeya sat on Zazu, which prompted the hornbill to call for help. The Lion Guard followed the noise to where Rafiki was attempting to paint a portrait of Mbeya, who was sitting on Zazu, and the baboon leader. The Lion Guard demanded an explanation, and Mbeya furiously explained that Zazu had called him "clumsy." The baboon leader clarified that it had been him who had called Mbeya clumsy, then accused Mbeya of having bumped into him. Zazu yelled for Mbeya to get off him, and the rhinoceros complied, to Zazu's relief. The baboon leader and Mbeya started to bicker again, but Beshte stepped in-between them and encouraged them to get along with one another. The three then apologized to each other.
That evening, Mbeya and the other leaders looked on as Makuu proclaimed his innocence, claiming that he had only wished to help his float by coming to the Summit. Afterward, negotiations were reengaged.[1]

Mbeya informs the Lion Guard about the missing grass patches.
While patrolling the Pride Lands, the Lion Guard noticed several animals taking off in the same direction. They followed the commotion to where a large group of Pride Landers had gathered beneath a tree. Beshte questioned Mbeya about the ruckus, and he explained that the animals had gathered to see a troop of performing baboons. Mbeya then watched as Uroho, Mwevi, and Mwizi put on their show.
Later, when Ma Tembo summoned the Lion Guard to see a tree that had been stripped of its leaves, Mbeya told the Guard that all the grass around the tree was gone as well. The Lion Guard resolved to find the food thieves, and Mbeya departed with the other animals. After Uroho, Mwevi, and Mwizi were discovered to be the food thieves, Mbeya and several other Pride Landers lined up to receive their food back. [4]

Mbeya expresses gratitude to Beshte for rescuing him.
In the midst of a tsetse fly infestation, the Lion Guard found Mbeya upside-down in a dry ditch. Beshte freed Mbeya, who lamented having rolled into the dry steambed to escape the tsetse flies. The team then escorted him to a watering hole.
Later, the Lion Guard found themselves plagued by tsetse flies. The flies left just as Thurston and his herd appeared, and Ono realized that the flies disliked the zebras' stripes. This gave Kion an idea. Under Kion's orders, the Lion Guard decided to escort Mbeya and the zebras to a new watering hole.[6]
Christmas
Mbeya took part in the "The Twelve Ways of Christmas" performance.[7]
Kumbuka

Mbeya agrees to join the Pride Lander army.
When the spirit of Scar secretly returned to wage war against the Pride Lands, Kion and the Guard passed through the Lair of the Lion Guard to view cave paintings of the Pride Lands' past, including a painting of Mbeya during the Savannah Summit.[9]
The Lion Guard concluded that the Pride Landers needed to unite against the threat of the Outlanders. They gathered Bupu's herd, Laini's group, Ma Tembo's herd, and Mbeya's crash. At first, the Pride Landers were tense, but Kion worked to defuse the tension. He instructed the animals to race toward Bunga. However, the event soon got out of hand, for the animals tripped over the galagos and ended up in a heap. Kion then got the idea to call Makuu the crocodile for help. Makuu begrudgingly agreed to help, but his training was too rigorous and ruthless for the other Pride Landers to master.
Shortly after Makuu quit the training sessions, the Army of Scar besieged his float. Ono witnessed the battle and reported his findings to Kion. Together, the Lion Guard and their Pride Lander allies stormed the watering hole and fought off the Army of Scar. After the fight, Makuu thanked Mbeya and his crash for the help and vowed to do the same for them should the need ever arise.[10]
