Queen Elizabeth NP — Tree-Climbing Lions Safari
See Africa's rarest spectacle — lions lounging in fig trees at Ishasha
Tour Overview
The tree-climbing lions of Ishasha are one of Africa's greatest wildlife mysteries — why do these lions climb trees when others don't? Scientists debate the reason, but the spectacle is undeniable: African lions draped across the branches of ancient fig trees, silhouetted against the sky. Beyond the famous lions, Queen Elizabeth offers diverse wildlife — elephants, buffalo, hippos, leopards, and over 600 bird species across savannah, wetland, and crater landscapes.
