Mahale Mountains National Park

A Remote Paradise for Chimpanzee Watching

Mahale Mountains National Park, located on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania, is a remote and pristine wilderness that offers one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences in Africa. The park is renowned for its thriving population of chimpanzees, providing visitors with rare opportunities to observe these fascinating primates in their natural habitat. The dense forests of Mahale are home to a variety of other wildlife, including buffaloes, giraffes, and over 300 bird species, but the highlight for many is the chance to track and interact with the chimpanzees, a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

In addition to its chimpanzee population, Mahale is celebrated for its stunning landscapes, where rugged mountain terrain meets the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tanganyika. The park’s remoteness and the lack of large-scale tourism ensure an intimate and unspoiled safari experience. Visitors can enjoy activities such as hiking, boat safaris and guided chimpanzee trekking, all while immersing themselves in the breathtaking natural beauty and tranquility of the park. Mahale Mountains offers a rare and unparalleled adventure for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts seeking an off-the-beaten-path safari destination.
