Tree Climbing Lion

 

Queen Elizabeth National Park is the most popular park in Uganda‚ which is evidenced by the large number of tourists visiting each year. It is most famous for its tree-climbing lions and is blessed with an assortment of crater lakes‚ forested gorges‚ savannah plains‚ swamps‚ rivers and the beautiful Kazinga Channel‚ which is home to an abundance of wildlife. One of the earliest promoters of the region was colonial governor‚ Sir Andrew Cohen‚ who described it as “the grandest view I have ever seen‚ looking north from Ankole escarpment with Lakes Edward and George and the Kazinga Channel in the foreground and the whole snowcapped range of the Rwenzori as a backdrop’’.
