Lions sleep between 16 and 20 hours a day. With a bit of luck you can spot them beneath the shade of the acacia trees.

What you can experience here

Experience a fascinating adventure as you search for majestic lions resting in the shade of acacia trees.

Leave the main track between First Bridge and Second Bridge and follow a track that loops back to the main route on the southern side. This track leads through a stand of acacias where you can often observe lions during the day as they rest in the shade of the trees. Lions often sleep in groups to strengthen their social bonds and provide extra protection – one alert member warns the pride of danger.

It’s best to start your exploration in the late morning hours, when the sun is high and the lions seek out the shady spots under the acacias. Be sure to keep a respectful distance so as not to disturb the animals.
