Simba and Nala in the real world
With this – the scene from Disney’s Movie Lion King

It was one of the best moment of my life other than seeing Lions Feeding in the wild at Serengeti National Park to be able to witness lion cubs playing.
Anyhow, Ngorongoro crater is a 20km wide calderas where the walls trapped animals who live there. It is an ecosystem by itself where the circle of life happens. It is also the home to a very rare Black Rhinos (reported less than 6) actually live in the crater and again Iwas very lucky to be able to see couple of the in action!

i love the lion king movies and everything. i would watch them for the rest of my life it i was able to. i am obssessed with these movies. i even have a lot of lion king tattoos and pictures. my daughter also loves these movies and when they watch them they get into there comfy clothes and get all there pillows and snacks and sit down in there favorite spots and watch all the movies. they wont go to bed until they see all the deleted stuff and everything else on the dvd. they even play some of the games on the computer. well anyway, i am a big fan of this movie and im so glade that they came out with it so that my hole family can watch it with me and enjoy it as much as i do.
Hey Cookie, same here
– I love the Lion King movie and like yourself, I watch it over and over again. Its such a great movie with lots of great lessons. The characters are very similar to the real animals. I’ve seen Pumba when I went to East Africa, the way Pumba walks is exactly the same as the warthog I encountered during my safari.
