5:30 wake up call for an early game drive. I’ve seen lions on safaris in the past but never up in the trees! There were 8 of these tree climbing lions in the trees of Queen Elizabeth National Park yesterday. Can’t wait to see what today brings as my Uganda journey continues with Gorilla Trek Africa.
