In addition, Sabrina Bryan will make a special appearance as Dorinda, while Lynn Whitfield and Lori Alter are set to reprise their roles as Dorothea and Juanita.

The logline for the film states, “The story picks up when Cheetah Girls Galleria (Symoné) and Chanel (Bailon), alongside Galleria’s daughter Faith (Jeffries) and her three friends, travel to Africa to volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary. Along the way, these four teen girls test their friendship, find their voice, and discover the true Cheetah spirit as they save the preserve and ultimately take the stage as the new Cheetah Girls.”
