There are only a few places in Africa where lions often climb | National Geographic

There are only a few places in Africa where lions often climb up into trees. The pride that lives around Lake Ndutu, is one of them. It’s a sight you’ll never forget, an entire pride of lions, from the smallest cub to the pride male himself, at times, lounging about in Acacia trees and completely at home all the way up there.

It allows them to catch the cool breeze that blows just slightly off the ground and gives them the ability to scan around them for approaching prey like zebra and wildebeest.
