4 Days Chimpanzee Safari

Mahale Mountains National Park is known for its lush rainforests and large population of chimpanzees. It is estimated that approximately 800 chimpanzees live in the remote mountain terrain, and visitors to the park will have the opportunity to observe them in their natural habitat.

It is considered one of the best places in the world to see chimpanzees in the wild and is located in the remote Mahale Mountains, south of Jane Goodall’s Gombe Preserve. The park is 1,613 km² in size, surrounded by forest-clad peaks rising up to 2,438m and the deep turquoise waters of Lake Tanganyika. It is one of the most remote and beautiful of Tanzania’s national parks and is only accessible by foot, as there are no roads in the park. Visitors can enjoy beautiful forest walks and have the chance to encounter the many different inhabitants of the lowland forests, higher woodlands, and savannahs. The sun rises over the lake and sets behind the mountains, creating a stunning landscape.

The highlight of a visit to Mahale Mountains National Park is the opportunity to track and observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Every day, visitors have the chance to follow skilled guides and trackers into the stunning tropical rainforest and observe the chimpanzees as they go about their daily activities such as grooming, wrestling, foraging, and playing. In addition to the chimpanzees, the park is home to a diverse range of wildlife including leopards, lions, kudu, eland, buffalo, roan and sable antelope, olive baboons, red colobus, white-spot nose mangabeys, and many others. The park is dominated by the imposing presence of Nkungwe Mountain and boasts a wide range of vegetation, making it one of Africa’s most captivating parks. In addition to chimpanzee trekking, visitors can also enjoy fishing, snorkeling, swimming, and canoeing
