Mahale Mountains National Park Safari Trips & Tours

On the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, towering high into the clouds, are the jagged peaks of the Mahale Mountains. Covered in lush jungle forest and speckled with sparkling streams and waterfalls, the mountains are enchanting and home to a variety of mammals. But the real highlight is the chimpanzees. There are around 1000 living in the area and the Mimikire group have been habituated to humans, meaning intimate, personal and quite frankly life-changing encounters. And if you still have some energy, spend time exploring the crystal clear waters of the Lake while snorkeling and canoeing amongst the rainbow coloured fish.

The Mahale Mountains National Park is home to habituated chimps, a variety of monkeys, porcupine, unique forest birds and the rare sable antelope. The park is made up of a range of peaks covered in lush montane and lowland forest, all the way down to the lapping water's of Lake Tanganyika. Many of the larger mammals are still present, but they are rarely seen. These include, lion, leopard, giraffe, zebra, buffalo and more.
