THE MANE EVENT
A quarter of a century on since the world first saw Simba the lion cub
lifted up above Pride Rock, the photorealistic remake of The Lion King
was released recently. HELL’S GATE NATIONAL PARK in Kenya was the
real-life location that most inspired the landscapes of the cartoon original,
and it remains a wonderful place to explore on foot or by bike.
You’ll find zebras and giraffes here, but, for lion sightings, you had best
head to other parks. The largest population is in the Masai Mara, a huge
expanse of gently rolling grassland, specked with flat-topped acacia
trees. Even Nairobi National Park has a small community of lions,
often within sight of the capital’s skyscrapers.
