Ishasha Tree-Climbing Lions Game Drive

Ishasha sector, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda

About this experience

In the remote southern Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, lions are known to rest in the branches of large fig and acacia trees. Game drives search the woodland for them, and there are also opportunities to see Uganda kob, topi, buffalo and elephant.

Sightings of lions in trees are never assured, but Ishasha’s quiet, wild character rewards the visit.

Highlights

  • Tree-climbing lion opportunities
  • Remote, uncrowded sector
  • Uganda kob and topi herds
