Encounter the King of the Jungle.

The lion is often called the “king of the jungle” due to its majestic appearance, powerful roar, and dominant presence in its habitat. However, it’s worth noting that lions primarily inhabit grasslands and savannas rather than dense jungles. The title “king of the jungle” is more symbolic of the lion’s status as a top predator. From the iconic tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park to the vast plains of Murchison Falls National Park, you’ll have the chance to witness these magnificent animals in their natural habitat!
