4 Days Ishasha tree climbing Lions safari

4 Days Ishasha tree climbing Lions safari – Wildlife and boat cruise on Kazinga Channel

4 Days Ishasha tree climbing lions safari – You will hope to see the big cats especially the lions while on their Uganda Safari in Africa. Lions are not as difficult to spot as the Leopards. Uganda is one of the best safari destinations in Africa where you can easily spot lions. Unlike most felines, lions are quite social and live in pride of up to 15 members that may include males, females, and their young Cubs.

You can get the chance to watch the little ones play and interact with their bored-looking mothers. Lions roar in the night which is a chilling moment while you are camping but they are not prone to attacking humans. From the comfort of your open roof and air-conditioned safari vehicle, you can take a half-day or full-day game drive through the Ishasha plains where you may see many other free-roaming animals.

A game safari through Ishasha the southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park enables one to enjoy the antics of tree climbing lions, African elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, several antelopes, bushbucks, and so many more fascinating creatures.

Tree-Climbing Lions in Ishasha Plains

There are only two populations of tree-climbing lions in the world and Uganda boasts one of them. In Uganda, tree-climbing lions are found in the Ishasha sector, the southern part of Queen Elizabeth National Park the second-largest and popular tourist destination. A game viewing safari through the Ishasha sector rewards you a real lifetime safari experience with an adventure with the tree-climbing lions resting on trees in addition to other animals.

Cubs climb trees for fun, but adult lions climb trees to get away from tsetse flies and they also tend to climb trees to enjoy a cool breeze up in fig trees as well as target their prey. Although tree lions are difficult to spot, the staff and management of Queen Elizabeth National Park record daily sightings, they thus have a good idea about their movements within the park. The acacia and fig trees which the lions climb, line the roads in the Ishasha sector of the National Park, giving you the chance to see them close to your vehicle, which offers a clear platform for photography.
