Lion tracking is one of the signature ways to experience Queen Elizabeth National Park — we build realistic day plans around season, drive times, and permit rules so the activity fits your wider Uganda safari.

Research-led lion tracking (where available) focuses on Ishasha and northern lion ranges — sightings are never guaranteed.

Guides, park fees, and transport between sectors are the main variables — we quote everything in one itinerary so you are not balancing cash payments in the field.

Highlights

  • Tree-climbing lions in fig trees (Ishasha)
  • Predator behaviour insights from experienced rangers
