Simba Goes Home to Africa

Simba the lion made confident strides into the African bush a mere 20 hours after the start of an epic journey that took him from his Belgian home to the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre in Malawi, under the care of the international wildlife charity, the Born Free Foundation and Belgium's Natuurhulpcentrum (Wildlife Rescue Centre).

So cruel to lock up an animal. So glad this guy is free. Hope he gets his spirit back.❤️

[@Ahmedkhan8802]

Welcome home, Simba. Born Free Foundation - thank you for making this happen. Beautiful animals.

[@starweb25]

The brave lion king Simba returns to live the rest of his life among his people in his beautiful homeland. beautiful creature, beautiful people, beautiful continent and beautiful song.

[@ryn204]

"Simba, everything the light touches, shall be yours.... Welcome home."

[@noahbawdy3395]

That is the calmest, most patient lion I've ever seen.

[@wittynatty9820]

Noah Bawdy Thanks to hormone laden meat they feed it.

[@Sylmarys24]

Lions are not only always aggressive. they spend lots of time under the shade so they have lots of patience.

[@damianfung3309]

Noah Bawdy he's calm because he's going home

[@YoungDen]

Everything seems calm when you have a full belly

[@tedcleveland8488]

he look like he gave up his life like "do whatever you guys want"

[@padtransfer4917]

Does anyone notice that Simba is very good looking?

[@queenmimi4535]

Pad Transfer nope

[@rainaabigailsenryuji4138]

Fit for his name😍😍

[@mewsao]

Pad Transfer i've never seen one bad looking lion ha!

[@drippinsauceskrr9429]

Raina Abigail Senryuji because he a nubian lion

[@ganpatb1434]

He probably is a Barbary Lion, they have thick coat beneath their belly

[@lisee.7143]

I’m so glad that he was rescued. His poor spirit was beyond broken. Thankyou for saving him. 🧡💛

[@mariettawa8254]

Thank you BORN FREE, KENYA and all those who were part of this most touching and wonderful journey of Simba to freedom!!!

[@noah12314]

Huge respect to all the people involved and the entire team. Such a beautiful and majestic animal. Deserves to be respected ..... respect #bornfreefoundation

[@ehsansabaghian5617]

The fact that there are 550 people who dislike this story, saddens me.

[@nawidfaghirzada9608]

May Allah bless everyone who does good to nature!

[@isitoveryet9525]

He's so calm because his spirit was broken living in such a horrible environment. These rescue sanctuaries are amazing, real heros. Hope Simba feels like the king he is. Such a beautiful boy!

[@2minuteDOCTOR]

American Made :-) I feel so happy to find kind people all around . Ty

[@janbadinski7126]

As it should be. His spirit isn't broken, it's bruised. It's why they teach him to be a normal lion. He was sedated from the trip is why he's unsteady.

[@wizkid8205]

@Auto blipper shut your stupid ass up

[@robertzaha4251]

We need more people like them in this world for God's sake. Wonderful people rescuing a magnificent creature like the lion

[@yashwantkumarsingh4551]

This is how human should take care of other living & protect their rights for survival . Really good effort to rehabilitate Simba .

[@oscarcat1231]

Really hope Simba will be safe and doesn’t succumb to stupid hunters and knows how to hunt and support himself. Bless you Simba ❤️💐💐💐💐💐

[@neophantomyt1435]

I really admire people like you and the others who take the time to help these poor neglected animals. Hopefully this lion will live a happy life now.

[@louisasmiles]

He looks like he feels like hes come home listening to the singing. Amazing how they keep their dignity and majesty no matter what theyve been through

[@MrMoosekiller31]

Circuses should be band we got wildlife preserves to view animals in the wild what kind of thrill is to stare at a caged animal sobbing cause he's stuck in a cage

[@llamalady]

*wild animals in circusses should be banned, not necessarily the circusses themselves... cirque du soleil (and many other modern circusses) dont harm animals, they dont use animals in shows as its suposed to be :)

[@Latoya-]

moose man circus' r just about extinct now

[@nidhirana3668]

This is the first time I saw a lion whose mane hair extended till his hind legs. And very calm indeed !♥️

[@usmale4915]

What a wonderful and beautiful lion. It does my heart good to see these majestic animals returned to their natural habitat. I love you Simba, you certainly are one handsome cat!!!!! Thank you for rescuing him!

[@audreybee5061]

What a fantastic job people like this do for these animals, who were in a place that they never should’ve been in. How wonderful to see them set free ❤️❤️

[@biglo9889]

how beautiful that they sang for simba! his land and his people!!

[@wawawillegers4991]

Thank you for taking Simba home. Home sweet home Africa 🌍 Welcome home dear Simba.

[@lelukat9808]

She said," Ive never seen such a calm lion". Poor baby was just so used to being crammed into small places he was broken of his spirit, Im tearing up right now, but SOOO HAPPY he was rescued from that hell.

[@333pinkitty]

What an amazingly beautiful beast. I hope his life is happy now. Bless all who were involved in getting this animal out of a cage and back in Africa ❤❤❤

[@heather77]

So beautiful to see! Thanks to all involved in Simba's rescue, it is a huge undertaking and so grateful for organizations that rescue animals and to have airlines and car companies and others assisting is awesome. The wildlife reserve looks beautiful and I'm sure Simba will have a long and happy life there!

[@romygime5822]

Simba a great Lion with a great spirit back to his homeland where he is belong Beautiful looking specimen of a animals all the lionesses would be looking at this handsome boy God bless

[@deborah5212]

What a beautiful beautiful beautiful boy OMG ! What great people they are we need so so so many more people like this in the world 🌍!!!!

[@pamwilliams-fritts1593]

Such a deep sadness in Simba's eyes...prayers for him to live a long, happy life now with a mate.❤God Bless you boy!

[@Latoya-]

my god he is a GORGEOUS king!!! long live simba. he is an absolute beauty. I hope he finds his companion.

[@kaz6380]

The reason why I donate to the Born Free Foundation each month - putting wild animals back in the wild, where they belong.

[@samsamson9021]

kaz6380 but what are you doing about trophy hunter's? .

[@tameemmotala1213]

AFRICA❤️

[@supersonkamei5757]

The king of the jungle, the rightful heir to the throne Simba got a grand welcome

[@mrskull9103]

He is soo calm and majestic 😍

[@tyleral5280]

This lion had a banner made with his name on it and a choir singing for him. Most people dont show eachother this much respect. Its awesome yet very strange.

[@janbadinski7126]

He's a majestic boy. Bless you for saving him. He was smiling at the new home he has.

[@anneliendekramer9243]

The look on his face when they welcome him with a song was very emotional.

[@simonbelmont65]

What an awesome lion! God Bless those for helping him!

[@hippiecowgirl4231]

You can see the wild come back into his eyes . The true Lion . Thank you Born Free.

[@celinesantoro791]

Even though animals don't make the same expressions as humans, it's still easy to see the emotions in their eyes and body language. When the people crowded him at the airport you could tell he was nervous and confused; and when he saw the new enclosure, he had this look of happiness, and excitement. You could tell how much he wanted to investigate it as he stood at the door. Animals don't have to speak to tell us how they feel. Thank you guys for giving him this new home!

[@yahavelt3190]

Well said!

[@debragonzales7072]

man kind must realize we share this planet with all of God's creatures. they must survive.

[@ethleen]

Beautiful lion. Very calm. Thanks to all who participated in saving it.

[@SunnyBeeRandomTuber]

That look at 10:26...it was like his moment of destiny...Simba is so aptly named for the way he looks

[@sammydeew4773]

not even single time lion roared .. he behaved like a domeestic cat.. his health should be checked once he looks dull..

[@11redlions]

Nothing to roar about, his past life ruined him but of course he's beautiful.

[@ambedkaritesofbengal790]

I like the way he was crunching the bones. Great to see him back to the world of Nature.

[@kathybradbury]

Whoever had him originally must have done their best to care for him. He doesn’t appear to have been extremely unhappy. Of course being in his natural habitat is wonderful (theoretically, if he can avoid poachers, disease, etc)

[@UmmCarl]

I am always impressed and amazed with these 'rescue groups's ability to drive around in brand new $114,000 vehicles.

[@ChristineOrcales]

He's just transferred to another cage, i thought simba will be taken into the wild like in the africa,there he can hunt, he can roar with pride,he can run, he can mingle with the other lions and animals there... But still happy he's doing great and i felt lil bit sad that i cant find a pride spirit from him because i know animals had a feeling like humans and i know that simba knew he's not totally free.... I salute those people who did everything for simba.... To put simba in a better place....

[@Atochabsh]

What a beautiful dark maned lion he is. Speaks to his years and endurance. Good luck to him in his new home.

[@renz2796]

What a beautiful creature 💙

[@mumi29]

Poor animals all over the world...What an agony we, humans, create over you.... So embarassing, so sad...

[@dianebcoffman]

Thank you for all you do!! Including the donors, caretakers, cooks, cleanup crew etc., too many people to list!! Everyone they need help with them financially. The whole process can get expensive.

[@anyab5557]

Dank u Belgie en de Born Free Foundation voor het nemen van de moeite dit prachtige dier terug te brengen waar het hoort. In een woord: Fantastish!

[@yooloyoolo4845]

Am getting the vibe of grandpa calm and caring from this lion 😌

[@ben1976morris]

Well done to Kenya Airways and Land Rover. And of course all those people involved. Shows us what a loving planet the world can be 😊

[@marcellogagot172]

i.m so happy for this lion over the years he's been in a circues for a long time but finally simba is free

[@angelit161]

Beautiful...I remember going to Bronx zoo and seeing the lions there they all depressed as the rain and snow was pouring on them. They belong back home in Africa, like Simba, that’s where they are the happiest.

[@fabilopez4085]

Simba just reminds me of The lion King 🦁 Anyone else? No Ok

[@RebeckaSarkozy]

I believe that Simba is calm because he can feel the goodness of the cause. Animals have a sixth sense like that.

[@prosperity359]

I am so moved! Simba is so beautiful and sooo lucky! Thanks to all the angels that helped Simba!

[@monicashupe2438]

Freedom... means being FREE not in a caged area !!! Simba deserves to be able to run FREE without any fencing around him !!!

[@mchl1689]

He's beautiful! You can tell he's not from the "wild" because he doesn't have scars in his body and face. I wonder how he's doing right now? it's been 4 years since this vid was posted.

[@jkl4970]

He's so beautiful and his eyes and his face expression are like human!!

[@laurencewts4986]

Simba the lion who was living in captivity is FREE in Africa. Get more animals rescued. Thanks #BornFreeFoundation and Malawi #Lion #Liberté #zoo #Malawi

[@wayout7857]

Thank you all for taking him back to his habitat..GBU all..

[@imagineyoshi4469]

Hakuna matata, it means no worries! -timon and pumba

[@fariborzkasravi7275]

Have a long and happy life Simba! Thank you Born Free Foundation for rescuing this beautiful creature!

[@VSP4591]

Could be a hope if people of Africa may understand what treasure they have and claim back all lions, elephants from across the globe and not to allow lion farming or hunting for fun and money.

[@sherrystewart7745]

Thank God, there are humans who love and care about God's creatures!!! You will be rewarded in heaven!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Keep up the good work - I always remember when my late partner & I went to Egypt to see the way the animals were treated broke my heart so please keep looking after the animals that do not have a say !!

[@ennidmc]

Simba el Leon que tiene la Paz que sobrepasa todo entendimiento!. Felicidades ! y gracias, por salvar a esta gran criatura, no hay palabras para describir lo maravilloso que es.

[@nadinetaylor2804]

Thank you I cried through out this clip. Thank you for rescuing Simba and all the valuable work you do to say OUR African heritage. God Bless you

[@Sidhubhai-gn4id]

Richest lion 😂❤️🔥

[@JanLilyJing]

What a wonderful thing to see Simba go to a much better way of existence - he got a beautiful welcome. It was also very moving to me to see Virginia McKenna still going at it for the animals - grew up with and loved her so much along with Bill. Keep up the good work Born Free!

[@aviatorboy19]

Thank you guys for keeping humanity !!!! You guys are really brave !!! Inspiration..!!!!👍

[@denisemontgomery5600]

As beautiful as this story is, the viewers were cheated out of seeing Simba actually roaming in his new habitat. Publicity for the organization is important but what really sells the effort is showcasing the new environment of these creatures.....

[@machalattes]

what a beautiful mane he has!

[@bedazzled64]

Wow! I did not know that Virginia McKenna was part of this wonderful organization! I absolutely loved her and Bill Travers in the wonderful movie... Born Free Thank you for all the wonderful work you do!

[@temi-twistedzones]

The King has returned.

I am proud there is a group of people like this

[@mohamedhosni5226]

This video represents a message to the prisoners, to be committed to good behavior may return to their home like Simba

[@chideranelis5192]

Even though animals are not human and can not talk they still have emotions like us thank you for giving him a home may god bless you and Simba

[@Jensau1]

Amazing work. Thank you! Simba is so gorgeous, I hope he gets a girlfriend soon!

[@hopebear06]

Isn't it wonderful to be able to forget about the starving humans for a while?

[@jeanlucakili8158]

Thank u for returning our African male lion

[@terrellnicolel]

I really like and appreciate the celebration of Simba and his journey back home. I appreciate the fact that for once humanity wasn't focused on its own needs and desires, but rather a majestic creature that we so often demean for our own selfish entertainment.

[@AraCod]

what a beautiful lion and wonderful people...may every day be a joy for the rest of Simba's life :))

[@stephenkellie-area51]

Thank you for saving such a beautiful lion. You shall be reward by the almighty. It will be nice if we could show the same amount of love and sympathy to humans in need of help and support.
