Mahale Mountains National Park in Tanzania is one of the most remote and beautiful parks in Africa. It is considered one of the best places on the continent for viewing chimpanzees, with a population of over 700.
Located 120 kilometres south of Kigoma, Mahale takes its name from the chain of mountains that bisects the park from north to south. As well as chimpanzee tracking, the area is good for a wide range of other animal species from elephants and giraffes to Cape buffalos and lions, with many more in the eastern woodland.
It is also one of the best beach locations in the world with superb swimming, sailing, snorkelling and fishing on the vast blue freshwater lake of Tanganyika. Charter flights to and from Mahale operate several times a week.
