Savannah Summit

The Savannah Summit is an annual event celebrated in the Pride Lands. It is the collaboration between key species in which the dry season is accounted and planned for.
==Concept==
The Savannah Summit takes place during the dry season. During the event, certain Pride Lander species come together to deliberate over and collaborate on issues such as water usage and sleeping location. Key leaders discuss strategies and potential solutions for each problem, with the monarch presiding over each agreement. The monarch also maintains peace between conflicting species.
==History==
===Early Savannah Summits===
There have been other Savannah Summits over the Pride Lands' past.
===Plot against Makuu===
One year, Simba, the king of Pride Rock, gathered several key leaders for the Savannah Summit. These leaders included Bupu of the antelope, the baboon leader, Vuruga Vuruga of the cape buffalo, Makuu of the crocodiles, Ma Tembo of the elephants, Twiga of the giraffes, and Mbeya of the rhinoceroses.
When the Summit came to order, Simba's son Kion mistook Makuu for an enemy and tackled him in front of the other leaders. Simba scolded his son and vouched for Makuu's presence at the Summit. However, the other leaders were hesitant to accept Makuu, and Twiga and Vuruga Vuruga determined to set a trap for him. Luckily, the Lion Guard managed to spring the trap, saving Makuu from any serious harm.
After the incident, Makuu announced to the other animals that he had attended the Summit with every intention of helping his fellow Pride Landers, though they had been unwilling to give him a chance. As the other leaders showed remorse for their behavior, Makuu declared that the Summit could proceed. The other leaders acted graciously towards Makuu and were willing to negotiate with his float.
===Legacy===
After the Savannah Summit relating to the incident with Makuu was over, either Rafiki or Makini painted the event in the Lair of the Lion Guard.
