Looks different.
In Melicope lunu- ankenda three leaflets originates from same point. Here it is pinnately trifoliate. It may be Commiphora caudata or Crateva adansonii or something else.
the leaf looks different from Melicope lunu ankeda
Can it be some Vitaceae climber?
I am not confident of any ID now !
I think Vitaceae climbers can be ruled out because we do not see any tendrils.
