Perched on the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika, Mahale Mountains National Park is one of Africa’s most extraordinary and least-visited destinations. Its forested peaks rise dramatically from the lake’s turquoise waters, creating an atmosphere of pure magic and mystery.

Mahale is world-famous for its wild chimpanzee population, one of the largest in Africa. Tracking these intelligent primates through the dense forest is an unforgettable experience — observing them play, groom, and communicate in their natural habitat.

The park is also home to other wildlife such as colobus monkeys, leopards, warthogs, and an abundance of birdlife. Beyond the forest, the pristine beaches of Lake Tanganyika invite swimming, kayaking, and relaxation against one of the most beautiful backdrops in Africa.
