Mahale Mountain National Park

Overview

Situated in the heart of Tanzania, on the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika, Mahale Mountain National Park is a hidden gem. Accessible by boat or small aircraft, this pristine wilderness awaits adventurers seeking an unforgettable wildlife encounter.

Covering an expansive 1,613 square kilometres, Mahale Mountain National Park is a vast sanctuary teeming with diverse flora and fauna.

Prepare to be enchanted by the park’s main allure, the charismatic chimpanzees. Mahale is renowned for its habituated chimp population, offering visitors a rare chance to observe their natural behaviour up close. But that’s not all; the park also boasts a rich biodiversity, from colourful birdlife to playful troops of colobus monkeys.

Besides chimpanzee tracking, visitors can embark on thrilling hiking trails through lush forests, keeping an eye out for elusive forest elephants and leopards. Lake Tanganyika invites you to unwind with a swim, snorkel, or fish amidst captivating scenery. The sunsets here are unforgettable!

For the ultimate experience, plan your trip during the dry season from June to October. During these months, the weather is more predictable, and the chimps are often seen near the lower slopes, making tracking easier. However, for birdwatchers, the wet season (November to May) is a paradise of avian activity.

Explore Mahale Mountain National Park, where the rhythm of nature beats harmoniously. Unplug from the world and immerse yourself in the wild wonders that await you!
