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).

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"

[@ryn204]

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

[@carannsanchez8298]

can i just ask why there are so many dislikes. This is a glorious rescue, how could anyone dislike this?

[@AlphaPoe]

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.

[@ehsansabaghian5617]

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

[@nawidfaghirzada9608]

May Allah bless everyone who does good to nature!

[@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.

[@lisee.7143]

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

[@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!

[@Doctoryt365]

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

[@mariettawa8254]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@biglo9889]

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

[@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

[@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

[@noah12314]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@Latoya-]

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

[@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 ❤❤❤

[@robertzaha4251]

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

[@wawawillegers4991]

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

[@nidhirana3668]

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

[@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 ❤️❤️

[@Necrotheos]

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!

[@yashwantkumarsingh4551]

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

[@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!

[@jeanlucakili8158]

Thank u for returning our African male lion

[@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 ❤️💐💐💐💐💐

[@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

[@mumi29]

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

[@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 🌍!!!!

[@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!

[@janbadinski7126]

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

[@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? .

[@hippiecowgirl4231]

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

[@fariborzkasravi7275]

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

[@peachesandcream.2612]

A lovely lady and a beautiful animal! God Bless everyone who loves and helps animals 💕

[@ethleen]

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

[@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!

[@mrskull9103]

He is soo calm and majestic 😍

[@anneliendekramer9243]

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

[@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.

[@simonbelmont65]

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

[@RebeckaSarkozy]

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

[@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.

[@prosperity359]

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

[@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

[@Atochabsh]

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

[@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

[@ambedkaritesofbengal790]

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

[@supersonkamei5757]

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

[@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

[@elialbizuri4590]

OMG! Such a beautiful lion! Thank you for helping him! Simba! ♥

[@machalattes]

what a beautiful mane he has!

[@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.

[@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.

[@jkl4970]

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

[@UmmCarl]

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

[@wayout7857]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@renz2796]

What a beautiful creature 💙

[@deirdreshadle5474]

Thank you Born Free and other Orginazations for rescuing Simba. I cried like a baby after watching the video. Have always admired Virginia McKenner for her dedication and rescue efforts. Thank you.

[@apwrg4350]

Thank you for saving beautiful Simba! God Bless All Who Participated in his rescue.

[@tashiglt4426]

Good on you, what a wonderful group of humans!

[@SunnyBeeRandomTuber]

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

[@susiegoodman4425]

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 !!

[@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 😊

God bless all of you who care lions for there new life☃️

[@simbathemagnificent540]

Simba is a beautiful male LION healthy mane great shape he deserves to be home ROOOAAARR !!!!!!🔥🐯🔥

[@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....

[@virginagobetz4756]

Beautiful welcome home song,beautiful story, beautiful lion free at last!!!Thank you for saving Simba!

[@beecreative101]

It's better they put simba here than in the wild. Why? He wont last a week in the wild he is not use to.

[@gordonramsey2742]

Lions are good animals Thank you for brining it back to its home God Bless u all

[@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)

[@AraCod]

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