4-Day Queen Elizabeth & Tree-Climbing Lions Safari | Akagera & Apes

4 Days / 3 Nights Max 8 Guests Entebbe · Queen Elizabeth NP · Ishasha 5.0

Tour Overview

Uganda's Most Diverse Wildlife Destination

Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda's most ecologically diverse wildlife destination — a mosaic of savanna, forest, wetland, and crater lakes that supports an extraordinary range of species. This 4-day safari is designed to capture the park's most iconic experiences: the legendary tree-climbing lions of Ishasha, the hippo-packed Kazinga Channel, and the prime big cat territory of the Kasenyi Track.

The tree-climbing lions of Ishasha are one of Africa's most unusual wildlife spectacles — a behaviour seen in only two places on earth. Watching a pride of lions draped across the branches of a massive fig tree against the backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment is an image that defines the Uganda safari experience.

The Kazinga Channel boat safari is equally unforgettable — a 36-kilometre natural waterway connecting Lake George and Lake Edward that supports one of the highest concentrations of hippos and waterbirds in Africa.
