Mahale Mountains National Park

Welcome to

Mahale Mountains National Park

Mahale Mountains National Park is a private heaven on Lake Tanganyika. The mountains, forest and crystal-clear water of the lake fuse to give this part of Tanzania a feeling, unlike any other part of the country.

Mahale is also the ultimate location for chimpanzee trekking. The park is home to a large group of chimps habituated and studied since the 60s by the University of Kyoto. There are absolutely no roads or cars and all access to the forest is by boat or on foot. The walks can be an easy half-hour stroll on days when the chimpanzees come down to the lakeshore, but up to eight hours when they remain high on the ridges (like the aptly named “skyway” path). There is a very high success rate and it’s unusual for people to return without seeing a chimpanzee at all.

Be among the privileged few that get to explore the remote wonders of Mahale Mountains by reserving a fully exclusive Tanzania Safari with us!

Jombi’s camp was exceptional and very enjoyable. The attention to detail was amazing and the camp fire was a great touch.

I enjoyed all of the accommodations because they were different from each other and had something unique to offer. I especially enjoyed the rustic tents ”.
