What makes these Lions climb the
Trees: Those who know claim that it is in
order to keep away from the bites of the tsetse flies – but whichever the
reason - The tree climbing lions of Ishasha are a rarity. In the whole
world there is one other place that you can find them and that is in the Lake
Manyara region of Tanzania. It is a magnificent sight to spot the
King of the beasts perched up in a fig tree, lazily sleeping away the
day. The males in this area also have the distinct feature of spouting a
thick, black mane - Ishasha is a memorable place to visit in Africa.
Ishasha offers much more than tree
climbing lions – On your uganda safari, you will encounter large herds of
Buffaloes, a big number of antelopes that spring across your path - there are
the massive elephants that have made Ishasha their home and , a large number of
hippos, As you slowly drive along the acacia tree studded savannah and
the wildlife opens before you, you begin to understand why people come back to
Africa - time and time again.
The Ishasha Plains - with its tree climbing lions, its abundant wildlife, its
scenery and unique lodging opportunities stands apart from most other places in
Uganda and for that part in Africa.
