Discover Mahale
Mahale's forested mountains rise straight out of Lake Tanganyika and are home to one of Africa's largest populations of wild chimpanzees.
There are no roads: visitors arrive by light aircraft and boat and explore on foot. Days are spent trekking to chimpanzee groups in the forest and relaxing on quiet beaches beside the crystal-clear lake. It combines beautifully with Katavi.
