Lions, cheetahs and leopards stealthily prowl the savannah, while elegant flamingos grace the waters.
Tree-climbing Lions
The tree-climbing lions of Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda and Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania are a remarkable sight to behold as far as East African wildlife experiences go. They have mastered the art of ascending tall trees, often seeking refuge or a better vantage point to spot their prey. Be amazed as these majestic big cats show their prowess while scaling the branches high above the ground.
