The area around Ishasha in Rukungiri District is famous for its tree-climbing lions.ions are believed to climb trees as a behavioral adaptation to protecting themselves from the constant irritation of insect bites while lazing on the ground under trees. Some animal behaviorists claim that these lions have perfected the art of climbing trees as a way of escaping the sweltering heat on ground level.One of such group of rebel lions is found tucked deep in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Ishasha, Western Uganda. The other population of the elusive tree-climbing lions can be spotted around Tarangire National Park and in Lake Manyara National park in South Tanzania. Both of this countries are in East Africa, although there have been a few sightings on a South Africa safaris of the lions in Kruger National Park exhibiting a similar affinity towards tree.
