Finding the Tree-Climbing Lions
Although tree-climbing lions are difficult to spot, the staff at the Queen Elizabeth National Park record daily sightings so they have a good idea where they are in the park. The fig trees which the lions climb, line the roads in the Ishasha sector of the park. This means you have a good chance of seeing the lions close to your vehicle which offers some great photo opportunties.
