About Mahale Mountains National Park

Chimpanzees by the lake

Western Tanzania, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika

Remote Mahale is one of the last strongholds of wild chimpanzees, tracked on foot through the forested slopes above the world's longest freshwater lake.

After the trek, the white-sand beaches and turquoise shallows of Lake Tanganyika invite quiet reflection, a true journey within.
