The majority of people that take a safari to Uganda do not anticipate seeing lions, however fortunately lions are not very hard to see as compared to lions and leopards. Uganda is among the finest safari destinations on the African continent where you will easily see lions. Dissimilar to other felines, lions are somewhat social and live in large pride of close to 15 members among which are the males, females plus their cubs (young ones).
