On the trail of "The Lion King", the remake of the famous Disney classic that has moved entire generations of kids: this is the incredible experience available for the most adventurous tourists.
The safari in Kenya is called King Lion Adventure, precisely because it will allow travelers to retrace the places that, many years ago, had inspired the feature film dedicated to Simba's adventures. And today more than ever, thanks to the upcoming release of the film adaptation of "The Lion King", thousands of curious people are ready for a journey of discovery of these wild lands.
It will be an incredible 8 days, spent in the middle of suggestive landscapes which will recall the settings of the great Disney masterpiece. An adventure also suitable for families, which will allow you to take home some indelible memories.
The tour is led by Robert Carr-Hartley, a professional photographer who grew up in Kenya: his passion for the wild territories of his childhood led him to become a profound knowledge of the environment and its fauna, so much so that in 1994 he was called to guide the team that was looking for inspiration for the "The Lion King" cartoon.
Just think, it was Robert himself who advised choosing a warthog (the very nice Pumba) as Simba's new friend! And as a great expert, today the photographer makes all his knowledge available to organize a unforgettable safari, to discover the wonders of the place and its inhabitants.
The guided tour starts from Nairobi, and has as its first stop the Giraffe Manor, a splendid rural estate where it is possible live in close contact with giraffes. And â surprise! â right here you can admire some specimens of warthogs, which really resemble our beloved Pumba.
In the following days we will enter the wildest nature, where we will be able to meet them elephants and hyenas in their natural habitat. A visit to the is unmissable Rock of the Kings, the very famous protruding rock from which Mufasa presents his heir to his subjects who were anxiously awaiting the birth of little Simba.
Continuing in the heart of Kenya, the safari moves to the territory of the lions, in the Samburu savannah. Here you will get to know some of the Samburu warriors, members of the local population who over the years have dedicated themselves to the conservation of the species and the peaceful coexistence between lions and humans.
Finally, a visit to the Masai Mara wildlife reserve, where you can hear the authentic roar of a lion. So many activities dedicated to children, naturally themed "The Lion King", will guarantee an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
