It was based on a story in frica but its not a real story
The lion king was a fictional story, and was not based on any certain part of Africa.
In the Disney's The Lion King movie there's three lion characters that hold the place of the king in the story. But as the story is about Simba and his coming-of-age, the title character is supposed to be Simba.
Well, The Lion King and the African Epic of Sundiata do bear story similiarites, but the filmmakers stated The Lion King was based on Hamlet and the Joseph and Moses stories on the DVD bonus features of The Lion King Platinum Edition DVD. Since the filmmakers didn't mention the African Epic as an inspiration for the film despite its similiarities, the storyline for The Lion King wasn't officially based on the African Epic of Sundiata.
No, but as told on the DVD's bonus features, in the Story Origins, it has influences from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet and from Biblical stories such as the story of Moses.
No it is a make believe story, which means its not real. Though the movie is brilliant :)
