Tree climbing viewing: 

Uganda is well-known for its exceptional tree climbing lions; the Queen Elizabeth National Park is the only place in the world where travellers may witness these lions, who are most commonly seen in the Ishasha sector. As a result, while touring this national park, tourists will see tree-climbing lions as they are always relaxing and resting on large tree branches. It is worth noting that they always climb trees because it protects them from being bitten by parasites and from the heat on the ground. It also allows them to see where their prey is located, making hunting easier.
