“ | Yes. We have reached the Outlands. | ” |
The Outlands is once a forbidden area outside the Pride Lands. Its inhabitants are known as Outlanders.
The Outlands are a stony network of canyons, gorges, and caverns. The light usually appears to be very dim, likely because of the ashy gray clouds blanketing the sky. The skeletons of other unfortunate animals can be seen. Deep within the Outlands is a now-dormant volcano with darker and more desolate surroundings, including withered trees.
Due to the lack of food, water, and atmosphere, several animals have resorted to gluttony, occasionally attempting to invade the Pride Lands, or attack a Pride Lander. However that all ended when Jasiri the hyena took over the Outlanders, which had began a new era of peace between both territories.

History[]
Prior to The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar[]
The Outlands was the home of a group of Hyenas also known as Shenzi's Clan. Shenzi's Clan lived in the Elephant Graveyard after they were restricted from entering the Pride Lands by Mufasa due to their disrespect towards the Circle of Life. Scar would come into the Outlands and speak with the hyenas and together they made schemes to overtake the Pride Lands. After the reign of Scar, Simba's daughter Kiara meets an Outsider named Kovu. The two cubs get along great and become quick friends.
The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar[]

The baobab falls into the Outlands
It is implied that Simba told Kion that he’s not allowed to go to the Outlands due to the dangers beyond the border. When Bunga and Kion's baobab fruit fell down into the Outlands, Kion refused to go. However, Bunga leapt down there regardless, not worrying about the consequences. After reclaiming the Baobab fruit, he encountered two hyenas, Cheezi and Chungu, one of which grabbed him by the fur on his neck. Kion was able to use the Roar of the Elders to shock them into letting Bunga go.
When Kion was getting the Lion Guard together, a vulture named Mzingo overheard the news and flew deeper into the Outlands to relay the message to Janja. Mzingo and the hyenas then plotted to take down as many animals as they could before the formation of the new Guard.

Can't Wait to be Queen[]

Janja approaches Kiara at Broken Rock
Upon hearing that Kiara has become the temporary queen of Pride Rock, Mzingo returns to the Outlands to deliver the news to Janja. Janja is pleased to hear this, and formulates a plan to take over the Pride Lands. Mzingo later tricks Kiara into going into the Outlands alone for a "peace meeting" with Janja at Broken Rock. Janja reveals his plan and attacks Kiara, but is foiled by Kion and the Lion Guard.
Eye of the Beholder[]
In the Outlands, Mzingo's Parliament host a meeting. One member of the flock, Mwoga, arrives late, bearing the news that Ono has lost the vision from one of his eyes. Janja overhears this, and he devises a plan to take out the Guard.

Retreating hyenas
Janja's clan are seen dashing through the Outlands, perusing a jackal pup named Dogo. The Lion Guard rescues Dogo, who convinces them to allow him to return to the Pride Lands with them.

After the jackals attack during the Kupatana Celebration, they are sent back to the Outlands.
Fuli's New Family[]

The volcano that Bunga wants to play in
Bunga travels to the Outlands to play in the volcano, believing that he is immune to all pain. Cheezi spots him and informs Janja, and the hyena clan approaches Bunga, who proves to be entirely unafraid of the fact that they are planning to eat him. Fuli intervenes just before Janja attacks, pulling Bunga out of harm's way. However, they rock beneath them breaks away, sending them floating down a river of lava. Janja and his clan wait for them to pass by so they can attack, but the other three members of the Lion Guard arrive and provide a way of escape for Bunga and Fuli. Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu try to stop them, but end up stuck on a burning log in the lava river.
The Call of the Drongo[]
Janja, Cheezi and Chungu kidnap a drongo bird named Tamaa, and force him to use his voice in order to lure some impalas into the Outlands. After they run into the Outlands (believing that Kion has ordered them to go there), they find that they are trapped. However, when Janja goes to investigate, Tamaa fools Cheezi into letting him go. He flies away, but returns when he realizes that he cannot let them stay there. He imitates the Lion Guard, which, at first, frightens the hyenas. However, Janja soon becomes suspicious when he sees that Cheezi no longer holds the bird in his mouth, and locates Tamaa. Before he can do anything, the real Lion Guard arrive and send Janja and his crew back to the Outlands, freeing the impalas in the process.
The Mbali Fields Migration[]

Migrating through the Outlands
When a rockslide blocks the path to Mbali Fields, Kion and the Guard take Muhimu's Herd and Swala's Herd through the Outlands. Whilst here, Muhimu enters labor and Fuli, Ono and Beshte lead the rest of the herd (except for a few female zebras and Swala) to help her. Muhimu gives birth to a boy, whose cry gets the attention Janja, Cheezi and Chungu. They attempt to startle everyone, but it fails.
