Why visit Mahale?
A chimpanzee paradise, where fantasy mountains & forests rise out of Lake Tanganyika
Mahale Mountains National Park extends over 1,650km² (165,000 hectares) of craggy mountains, rolling hills, savannah, dense forest and a deserted tropical beach.
The verdant forests on the slopes of the Mahale Mountains are home to a substantial population of chimpanzees (over 1,000 individuals), which are part of an ongoing, 50-year-old study. These chimps are habituated to the researchers' presence and make for relaxed chimp-trekking subjects. Other primates include yellow baboons, vervet, red-tailed, and colobus monkeys (both the red and Angolan black-and-white colobus species).
The other side of the mountain range, seldom visited, opens up into savannahs – home to lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, and roan and sable antelope.
There is a definite tropical, paradise island feel about the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Mahale. The turquoise waters stretch as far as the eye can see and warm waves lap gently onto the shores of unspoilt sandy coves. The park’s lodges are situated on the beach, and guests can opt to rinse away the chimp-trek sweat with a dip in the lake, amidst tropical fish while hippopotami bob in the lake's clear waters away from the lodge areas.

Why choose us to craft your safari?
Handcrafted experiential safaris since 1991.
Travel in Africa is about knowing when and where to go, and with whom. A few weeks too early/late or a few kilometres off course, and you could miss the greatest show on Earth. And wouldn’t that be a pity?
