These animals, including the tree-climbing lions, can be seen in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night game drives, and they are best done during the dry season from June to October or from December to February. Scientists and researchers are still interpreting the reasons why the lions in the Lake Manyara National Park climb trees, and most have said that the lions escape from the biting insects on the ground because they fear attacks by buffaloes and want to have clear views of their prey when they are lying heavily within the tree-branches.
