Queen Elizabeth Tree-Climbing Lions Safari - Image 1

Tour Overview

Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of Africa's most diverse parks, spanning from the volcanic crater lakes of the Rwenzori foothills to the savannah plains of the Ishasha sector. The park is world-famous for its tree-climbing lions, one of only two populations in Africa that regularly climb and rest in fig and acacia trees. This safari explores the park's extraordinary biodiversity, from the Kazinga Channel boat cruise (one of Africa's best) to the Kyambura Gorge (the "Valley of Apes") for chimpanzee trekking. The park harbours over 600 bird species, making it one of Africa's premier birding destinations.
