What to Do While Staying at Ishasha Wilderness Camp

A stay at Ishasha Wilderness Camp gives guests easy access to the Ishasha savannah sector, an area well known for its tree-climbing lions. A game drive is the best way to look for these lions and other wildlife in the wider Ishasha area. The lions of Ishasha are known for resting in the branches of fig trees, which is one of the region’s most distinctive wildlife sights. At times, elephants and buffalo may also be seen near the Ntungwe River close to the camp. Guests may also see troops of monkeys moving through the surrounding area near camp, especially black and white colobus monkeys and vervet monkeys. This combination of river scenery, quiet surroundings, and nearby wildlife makes the camp a rewarding base for safari travellers.
