About Ishasha
The Ishasha sector, in the remote south of Queen Elizabeth National Park, is famous for one gloriously odd sight: lions lounging in the limbs of giant fig trees, legs dangling above the topi herds they watch. Only two lion populations in Africa do this routinely, and Ishasha is one. Its open savannah sits directly on the road between Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi, making a game drive here the perfect bridge between chimp and gorilla country.
