For this #WorldLionDay Check out the lesser known tree climbing lions of Uganda’s hidden gem, Kidepo Valley National Park. Kidepo Valley is a short distance from South Sudan & Kenya It is a dry, fawn-coloured landscape dotted with Tim Burton–esque acacia shrubs and fat Kigelia trees, and the roar of lions rolling in from distant hills. Apoka Safari Lodge is a shocking oasis of luxury in the middle of the rugged savannah; there’s a stunning open-air main lodge, a curated handicraft shop, and even a luxe swimming pool, not to mention 10 handsome cottages with private terraces and outdoor stone baths. Go for the remoteness; encounter elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions leopards, buffaloes, unique birdlife and if lucky you must even spot cheetahs. There are limited visitor numbers because of its remoteness so you can literally sometimes have the whole park to yourself. Check out @bluenomads for safari bookings and @apoka_safari_lodge manager, #wildographer & guide @ricardomoferreira can lead you on a memorable safari. #WildographyUganda #NiloticExpeditions #ApokaSafariLodge #VisitUganda #lions #treeclimbinglions #uganda #kidepovalleynationalpark #kidepovalley #ugandawildlife #bigcats #bigcatsofinstagram #pearlofafrica #treelions https://www.instagram.com/p/CDuWccLga1b/?igshid=g13aeftibq7h
