Lions Light

Ishasha Sector and the Tree Climbing Lions

Having been woken up at 0600 hours that my tea was outside my tent, I jumped out of bed and sat on the canvas chair taking pleasure in the early African light, eavesdropping to the river rush past – normally a little stream with sandy banks, hippos and elephants crossing, feeling an African touch! The river had now turned into full flood after the deluge of rain a few days ago. This was the rainy season. My bush shower had previously been elevated up so after enjoying the morning light I went back into my tent for a quick hot shower before rising more awake to go on a game drive in this re-known Ishasha sector – famous for its tree climbing Lions.

Having taken a cup of coffee we set off for a short drive to the top of the ridge to listen to the African morning ensemble – a brew of bird calls as the sun attempted to rise through the early morning mist. It was overwhelming, all the different tweets, hoots, coos and clicks (which Ronald pointed out to us each time we heard a new sound) as the mist lifted from the valleys and the light changed and became day. The night before, it had rained and cleared the air so we had a breath-taking view of the snow capped Rwenezori Mountains in one direction and the volcanoes in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo in the other. Below us were herds of Elephant in the distance which we watched while enjoying a coffee before our guide (and host) said “We should go to the fig trees, seems like the lions are still up the fig tree and I don’t want us to miss them”. We were so thrilled to hear this and couldn’t wait!

The camp was comparatively close to the fig tree we had found the lions in the day before as we entered Ishasha (the Southern part of Queen Elizabeth Nation Park) and when we got there we found 8 lions lounging on the large horizontal fig branches. The day before when we had entered the park, 5 females were in an Acacia tree and the four males in the fig tree we were now parked next to. The females had joined the rest of the pack overnight and we waited for that golden shine of the morning sun so we could take some good photos. After leaving the lions we headed across the plain on the Northern circuit and must have passed a thousand Kob, grazing and steadily moving as a large herd.

There were also plenty of Topis and Buffalo, Ring-necked Doves ,colourful European Bee-eaters still perched on trees, and Coucals with their feather puffed up to keep warm and Francolin’s running in front of the vehicle before taking off with their idiosyncratic ke-ke-ke-kekeke kuh call. On the other side of the plain the vegetation is thicker with more scrub and thickets. All of a sudden, Ronald stopped and signaled us to be quiet as he whispered “Leopard, in the tree!”. Convinced enough, not more than 50 meters from the road was a bravura Leopard in an Acacia tree. He had already heard us and before long was elegantly climbing down the tree (unlike the awkward lions that seem to fall out). Soon all we could see with the feathery white tip of his tail and he disappeared into the long grass. We wished he could stay longer! We were happy about this but so sad to see him disappear…..

After this memorable morning game drive, we headed back to the Wilderness Camp for breakfast. We headed along the crest seeing more Buffalo wallowing in mud pools, Kob and Topi, then dropped down onto the river plain before inflowing the forest that borders the river bank where the camp is concealed. Ishasha wilderness camp is on a bend of Ntungwe River and the main dining and lounge tent is centrally positioned right alongside the river. Tables were already laid with fresh fruits and juice on our arrival.

George, the head waiter came and took our orders for our main mid morning breakfast breakfast – would we like eggs, beans, sausages and sandwiches? There is no menu but everything for a full English breakfast was available including mushrooms. Hot toast was brought and I was delighted to see I had pleasant yellow scrambled eggs instead of the white ones you find in the city- so tasty!

They can also make pancakes and have great home made honey roasted crunchy muesli and real coffee – just ask them to make it stronger if it is too weak for your liking.

After a long breakfast I headed back to my tent, found my book and enjoyed the comfort of my hammock which each tent has to one side. I was disturbed by a massive splash of water and found out the bank had been eroded so much that a tree on the bank had fallen into the river. Paul told us that when the river is low, lunch and dinner are sometimes served on the sand banks next to the trickling stream. Lunch was served in the same place as breakfast – the stream had turned into the Congo - muddy brown water with trees been washed down the torrent. Once again there is no menu for lunch but different food each day – salad, home made hot rolls, Mousaka, cold meats and cheese. It is not gourmet food, but very tasty, healthy and home made. We then retired to the lounge area where there is buffet tea and coffee table with excellent home made flap jacks and chocolate chip cookies to nibble away on while playing back gammon. This is also a good time to charge the camera batteries if the generator is on.

The camp has eight tents in all, each with twin beds, solar lighting, shelves for your clothes and a separate en suite bush shower and small bathroom with sink and eco friendly “night” toilet at the rear. You can roll down the canvas so that three sides of your tent are open and let the breeze blow through while enjoying the sounds of bush life outside. Ishasha really is in the middle on nowhere and you cannot hear any traffic and hardly get a mobile phone signal. The camp does not try to be ostentatious (there is no wireless internet, no spa, no air conditioning, no pool, no spa treatment and no fine wine cellar.) but is comfortable and practical.

The rooms are not lavishly decorated in grand campaign 1920’s style or classic safari camp antiques but you have all the comforts you require – hot showers, hot and cold water next to the wash basin and bottled water to wash you teeth with and ample privacy between tents. The tents do not have thatched coverings but instead use the natural shade of the trees and blend in with the environment. I particularly like the flushing “day” toilet which is away from the river and is open to the view of forest. You cannot beat a loo with a view and if you are a birder I recommend you take your binoculars to view the hornbills as they swoop between trees as well as all the other bird species in the trees.

Late afternoon we went for another game drive, first to the Kob lek (breeding ground) which was covered in dancing Crested Cranes, Warthogs as well as the Kobs and enjoyed a gin and tonic, beers, nuts and popcorn while the light faded before retuning for an early dinner. Dinner is a four course candle lit affair. A starter, soup, main and dessert. The soups were excellent – cucumber, tomato and basil, pumpkin and sweet potato, varied main courses each night – chicken, fish or beef with crunchy vegetables which included broccoli and cauliflower (a rarity in the bush), and one night an incredibly rich chocolate dessert. The food in unpretentious, as are the wines but tasty. After dinner we sat around the fire for coffee before retiring early to bed after an awesome day with nature.

We were unlucky on our drive to the Lake George flats not to see the Shoebill Stork but overall considering it was the rainy season had an incredible time, we did see the splendid Saddle-bill Stork and one morning saw more than 200 Elephant – some with massive tusks, found a lion kill, and saw some amazing bird life, especially all types of raptors including an Amur Falcon. There is something magical about game viewing in Uganda, especially Ishasha. They are such few other tourists that when you see game it is very much in an unspoilt environment. There is no hissing radio in your car and twenty other vehicles viewing the leopard. Not everyone sees the famous tree lions, but that’s what makes it even more special if you do.

Ishasha Wildness camp is the only camp to stay at in Ishasha unless you camp at the campsite near the park headquarters. The camp is eco friendly and works with the Kazinga-Bukorwe Community Trust which offers tourists alternatives to game drives like how the local community is undertaking issues such as crop raiding elephants. It is a long ten hour drive to get there but once you get there it is well worth it especially if you are on your way to or from Gorilla viewing. Forget your phone and internet - get back to nature and go and spend a couple of nights in this amazing corner of Africa-so magnificent!

Why are people always trying to make a wild animal into a pet?

I was watching tv the other day and i saw this lady who had several Lions and Tigers on her property and she had been injured by some of them. I think she was charging people to come take pictures with them or something. Some of the people who were posing with the big cats got hurt also. Why are people so stupid? I've seen on tv where people have Racoons, Pythons, Wolves, Big cats, Bears,and all sorts of wild animals as pets. Why would i want to own something that can kill me in the blink of an eye? Wild animals are so unpredictable and so dangerous. Why risk your life and the lives of others by owning one? Can some one shed some light on this for me cause i really don't understand this at all. I think it's insane!
That's true chriztina, but i doubt if a house cat can kill you with one swipe!
That's funny, i've never heard of any one being killed by a house cat. Bitten, yes. Killed, no. There's a BIG difference between a house cat and a Lion. So let's get real!

Hi there...unfortunately, many people think it's alright to take exotics as pets without properly educating themselves far in advance on the animal's nature. We rescue so many of these exotic pets (mostly exotic cats) because people discover they cannot provide adequate housing, mental stimulation, appropriate dietary requirements, socialization if they are social animals, acquired illegally, discover they can't legally keep the animal in their community because it's illegal, display the animals to the public illegally without permits like this woman probably did by endangering the public with this action... and so much more. So much goes into the care of a captive animal and exotics are not for the inexperienced. Domestic pets are different as they've been bred for many generations that they do not survive without the means for man to provide. People believe if the take a wild animal while they're very young they can remove the wildness in them, but that's never true. It only makes the animal dependent on humans for survival, nothing more. They are wild through and through, but haven't "learned" to hunt because humans removed that opportunity. That's why exotics born in captivity are not suitable to be released into the wild since they have learned what their parents learned...people feed us.

Here's a website that talks about exotic pets in further detail with photos:

Pride Of Lions - Light From A Distant Shore

The Lions $18 Big Avalanche Ravine Just the warning light on a blue crane. Just mountains. Just the mist that skimmed them both and bled to silver rain lashing the condominiums. But there it sank on me. This urge to carve a life from the long expanse. To hold some ground against the surge of sheer material. It was a tense and persistent and metallic shiver. And it stayed, that tremor, small and stark as the noise of the hidden river fluming its edge against the dark.   In his second collection of poems, Peter Campion writes about the struggle of making a life in America, about the urge “to carve a space” for love and family from out of the vast sweep of modern life. Coursing between the political and personal with astonishing ease, Campion writes at one moment of his disturbing connection to the public political structure, symbolized by Robert McNamara (who makes a startling appearance in the title poem), then in the next, of a haunting reverie beneath a magnolia tree, representing his impulse to escape the culture altogether. He moves through various forms just as effortlessly, as confident in rhymed quatrains as in slender, tensed free verse. In The Lions , Campion achieves a fusion of narrative structure and lyric intensity that proves him to be one of the very best poets of his generation.   Praise for Other People            “Campion is a poet who knows that what a poet sees is nothing without a mixture of formal prowess and emotional insight.”—David Biespiel, The Oregonian

Ida: A Sword Among Lions $11.99 In the tradition of towering biographies that tell us as much about America as they do about their subject, Ida: A Sword Among Lions is a sweeping narrative about a country and a crusader embroiled in the struggle against lynching: a practice that imperiled not only the lives of black men and women, but also a nation based on law and riven by race. At the center of the national drama is Ida B. Wells (1862-1931), born to slaves in Mississippi, who began her activist career by refusing to leave a first-class ladies’ car on a Memphis railway and rose to lead the nation’s first campaign against lynching. For Wells the key to the rise in violence was embedded in attitudes not only about black men but about women and sexuality as well. Her independent perspective and percussive personality gained her encomiums as a hero -- as well as aspersions on her character and threats of death. Exiled from the South by 1892, Wells subsequently took her campaign across the country and throughout the British Isles before she married and settled in Chicago, where she continued her activism as a journalist, suffragist, and independent candidate in the rough-and-tumble world of the Windy City’s politics. In this eagerly awaited biography by Paula J. Giddings, author of the groundbreaking book When and Where I Enter, which traced the activist history of black women in America, the irrepressible personality of Ida B. Wells surges out of the pages. With meticulous research and vivid rendering of her subject, Giddings also provides compelling portraits of twentieth-century progressive luminaries, black and white, with whom Wells worked during some of the most tumultuous periods in American history. Embattled all of her activist life, Wells found herself fighting not only conservative adversaries but icons of the civil rights and women’s suffrage movements who sought to undermine her place in history. In this definitive biography, which places Ida B. Wells firmly in the context of her times as well as ours, Giddings at long last gives this visionary reformer her due and, in the process, sheds light on an aspect of our history that is often left in the shadows.
