The series ends with Kion saying goodbye to his family and telling Kiara she'll make a great queen, as well as Timon and Pumbaa giving Bunga one last hug. Then they watch as the Guard walks off into the sunset.

...and then sometime afterwards there'd be a standalone special where they return to the Pridelands as adults. Or all the Guard died. That's less likely, though. Don't think like that PLZ.

That's what I thought that Disney would originally have to do if they want to have a proper ending to show but I guess the Guard could just leave.
