A tale of courage and determination set amongst the boulders of M'goma hill. Nurtured by his mother, the fierce yet tender Sabba, Kimba the lion learns the ways of the plains--the merciless hunt for food, the danger from ravenous hyenas, leopards, snakes, crocodiles and rival lions. When his father is challenged for the leadership of the pride, Kimba finds himself running for his life. Now he must hunt alone. He must grow fiercer, more powerful, more formidable and ready himself to challenge for the leadership of his old pride. In addition he must also face the lion's greatest enemy--man.
