A closer connection

The story of this place

Mahale Mountains National Park is a remote wilderness on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania. The forested Mahale Mountains rise above clear lake water and provide habitat for one of Tanzania’s most important wild chimpanzee populations. Guided chimpanzee trekking is the park’s signature experience, allowing visitors to observe these primates in their natural forest environment while following strict wildlife-viewing guidelines. The park also supports other primates, forest birds and a variety of mammals. With access usually by boat or light aircraft, Mahale offers a rare combination of mountain scenery, rainforest exploration and relaxation beside one of the world’s deepest lakes.
