Even though they explicitly stated that it was the Outlands, I always felt that where Kion and Bunga ran into the hyenas was an extension/part of the gorge. The geography certainly matches it a lot closer than the Outlands in SP.
Remember that in Simba's pride, we saw Kiara cross from the Pride Lands into the Outlands: the border was marked by a creek crossing, but for the most part, the two are at the same elevation.
In The Lion Guard, the gorge Kion and Bunga were playing with fell down a cliff - one that is highly reminiscent of the gorge from the first movie. Of course, there is nothing to say that the gorge, or a small part of it, wasn't in the Outlands as well as the Pride Lands.
