In the heart of the Tsavo East National Park, where the boundary between wilderness and survival blurs, one farmer witnesses the raw conflict between man and beast. Kitonga’s story is one of resilience, reverence, and the fight for harmony in a changing world. From lion raids to poachers, from conservationists to corrupt officials — this is the story of a people learning to coexist with nature to preserve a legacy that belongs to all of us.
“When the Lions Came” is a gripping tale of courage, community, and coexistence, set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Kenya’s great wild frontier.
