The REAL Lion King: As The Lion King musical turns twenty new luxury safari camps, based where the film was inspired reveal stunning photographs of ferocious big cats in their natural habitat
comments
To celebrate its twentieth birthday, the team behind Disney's animated musical, The Lion King, has announced production of The Lion Guard - a TV movie and series inspired by the film and its sequels.
And to get to grips with the inspiration behind the tales of Simba and the gang, Namiri Plains, near the central Serengeti, where the Lion King movie was based, have revealed these awe-inspiring photographs.
The luxury six-person tented camp will offer unique access to a vast area which has previously been closed to the public as it was being used by the Frankfurt Zoo for their research into big cats.
Namiri Plains camp was created for real safari enthusiasts wanting a high level of comfort in secluded surroundings, excellent guiding and a deeper, more intense wildlife experience. Tucked away in a grove of fever trees, this small and exclusive camp has terrific views over the endless sweeping plains that surround it.
Rose Hipwood, Founder of The Luxury Safari Company said, 'This amazing area is East Africa's top spot for big cats.'
