This pride of lions clearly subscribe to ‘the more the merrier’, as six of them were seen climbing into the top of a small tree in Tanzania.
The lions and lionesses were seen climbing up into the tree and somehow managed to all fit onto the branches as two looked on longingly from below.
King of the hill: A pride of lions completely take over the small tree in Tanzania
Senior field guide Adas Shemboko captured the moment as he drove across the park with visitors earlier this month.
Mr Shemboko, 45, said: ‘It was a wonderful thing to experience. It doesn’t happen all that often during the day time when it’s hot – lions are very lazy and tend to sleep during the day.

Adas said: ‘As I was driving along from afar I could see the lions in the air.
