Ishasha Wilderness Camp sits in the southern Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the area famous for lions that regularly climb into the branches of fig trees.
Canvas safari tents set beneath riverine trees, each with an en-suite bathroom and private veranda.
Hearty, well-prepared meals served in a relaxed, remote bush setting.
Game drives across the Ishasha sector, searching for the area’s tree-climbing lions among the fig trees.
Ishasha’s lions are one of only a handful of populations in Africa known to regularly climb trees, alongside elephant, buffalo and topi.
Photographing lions resting in fig tree branches here is a genuinely rare wildlife image, found in very few other locations worldwide.
The camp supports Uganda Wildlife Authority research into the Ishasha lion population’s distinctive tree-climbing behaviour.
