Guest Comment

I still remember the alpha male walking next to me on the trail. He was walking so close the hair on his long forearms brushed up against my leg. I froze in place. I remember thinking, The rangers told me not to get close to the chimps. What am I supposed to do? I thought that would be the high of my chimpanzee viewing in Mahale, but the best was yet to come.

Trip Overview

Chimpanzees of Mahale National Park have been habituated by Japanese researchers from Kyoto University.  They have a slightly different habituation approach than their more famous neighbor - Jane Goodall at Gombe National Park.  Their efforts offer you excellent rewards: close encounters with chimps and the opportunity to sit quietly and observe chimpanzee family life as it unfolds around you.

You will trek twice into Mahale Forest with expert local guides who work daily with the chimps. The best chimpanzee viewing available with relaxing and luxurious accommodations - all along the shore of Lake Tanganyika.  Accommodations at the Kungwe Beach Lodge, or choose to upgrade to the luxurious Greystoke Lodge.
