Lions are magnificent creatures. Kidepo often reminds people of scenes from the Lion King because they lions overlook the savanna from one of their favorite rocks. What many people do not know however is that the Lions in Kidepo also climb trees. In Uganda, people travel all the way to Ishasha to see tree climbing lions, because they think it is the only place where they live. These photo’s prove once and for all that Kidepo has them too.
