Mahale Mountains National Park is one of the most beautiful locations anywhere in Africa.
Stretching along the lakeshore of the crystal clear waters of Lake Tanganyika, the deserted sandy beaches and stunning backdrop of forested mountains makes this a totally intoxicating place to visit.
Apart from its stunning beauty, this area is also home to an estimated population of some 700 chimpanzees which have been studied and habituated over the last 40 years.
The habituated chimp communities can be tracked and observed on a daily basis from the few camps offering one of the most rewarding wildlife interactions you can ever hope to experience.
Viewing the chimps can take between 30 minutes to 8 hours depending on their location, whilst the success rate is high particularly over a 3 or 4-night stay.
The outstanding lodge and one of the very best in Africa is without doubt Greystoke Mahale Camp.
We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
