We are to have an evening game drive through this sector to search for more game particularly the rare tree climbing lions. Ishasha is one of only two places in Africa where you can see tree-climbing lions. It is believed that the lions have adopted this unusual behavior to escape the tsetse flies and the heat of the lower ground. Being perched on a tree branch is also advantageous when it comes to finding supper, as they can observe their prey from high above. Besides the tree-climbing lions, there is plenty of other wildlife to be seen, including the Ugandan Kob, buffalo, elephant, hippo and zebra.
