Mahale Mountains National Park
Accessible only by boat or light aircraft, Mahale Mountains National Park sits on the forested shore of Lake Tanganyika, the world's second-deepest lake, and ranks among Africa's most beautiful and remote parks.
Its main draw is chimpanzee trekking — Mahale is home to one of the largest known populations of wild chimpanzees, habituated for research and observation over decades, offering intimate encounters on forested mountain trails.
Wildlife & Highlights
Beyond the chimps, the lake itself offers exceptional snorkeling among colorful cichlid fish, and pristine, empty white-sand beaches unlike anywhere else in Tanzania.
Best Time To Visit
June to October, the dry season, for the easiest forest trekking conditions and clearest chimp sightings.
