Undoubtedly, lions are one of the most exciting animals to see during Kilimanjaro Safaris, but they aren’t always this active. Typically, lions are most active at dawn and dusk, meaning they are inactive for the majority of the day.

When it comes to Kilimanjaro Safaris, try and visit closer to sunset in order to catch a moment as exciting as this as you pass the lion’s domain!
