Personally, I don't think Gumba is the mongoose. For one,  kidole gumba  means "thumb" in Swahili, and I don't think mongooses have thumbs(baboons, however, do, which leads me to believe that Gumba is the young baboon). For another, the mongoose's voice sound to me like Jacob Guenther's. According to the credits, Jacob Guenther voiced Shauku. So it seems most likely to me that Shauku is the mongoose, and Gumba is the baboon.
