About this listen

The lioness stalks the wildebeest, keeping low to the ground, she pounces, misses and the chase begins. Or does it? Welcome to the Umbolo Valley where the lions, leopard, bat-eared fox, eagle, cranes, ostriches and black rhino and others have learned to live differently. Their daily performances are crucial to keeping the humans at a safe distance until one day, when a boundary is crossed. The animals must adapt and come up with a new plan, one that will drive the humans away forever.

Umbolo Valley is a children's story set in a realistic setting but told from the animal's perspective.
