Located in the southern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the beautiful Ishasha Plains are little visited by tourists, which makes it all the more rewarding for a game-drive or two.
Wildlife of Ishasha
Famous for its tree-climbing lion, which lounge in the low boughs of the fig trees — a habit which researchers believe is due to the need to see above the long grasses in the dry season to spot their prey, and also to avoid biting insects. Other wildlife you can hope to see in this region include buffalo, zebra, elephant, Ugandan kob and hippo in the Ishasha River.
Birdwatchers can keep an eye out for the compact weaver, black coucal and other water-birds like herons and storks near the Lake Edward marshlands, too.
